Ingredients

To make this delightful Green Machine Juice Recipe, you’ll need the following fresh ingredients:

• 3 cups chopped kale or baby spinach (or a combination of both)
• ¼ cup fresh mint
• ½ cucumber, chopped

• 1 green apple, cored
• 1 cup chopped pineapple
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 small piece fresh ginger, peeled (about a 1-inch piece)

Full ingredient list with measurements is provided in the printable recipe card below.

How to Make the Recipe

Making this Green Juice Blender is a breeze! Just follow these simple steps:

1. Add all the ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
2. Start the blender on low and slowly increase to high speed. Blend for 90 seconds or until completely smooth. If needed, use the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades to get things going.
3. Drink it straight from the blender as a whole food green juice if you want to retain the fiber or strain it through a nut milk bag over a bowl or large measuring cup for that classic green juice consistency (my personal favorite).
4. Pour into glasses and enjoy right away or transfer to a mason jar and store it in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. The juice will separate as it sits (this is normal!) – just give it a good shake before enjoying.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Green Juice Recipes turn out perfectly every time:

• Feel free to mix and match your greens! If you have collard greens on hand, try adding them for a different flavor and texture.
• For a sweeter juice, add more pineapple or a ripe banana.
• If you prefer a thicker consistency, skip the nut milk bag and enjoy the fiber!
• Experiment with different herbs like basil or cilantro for a unique twist.
• Don’t forget to freeze greens when they start to wilt; they make a great addition to your juice later!

How to Serve

This Green Juice Blender is best served fresh, but it can also be a fantastic addition to your meals. Here are some serving suggestions:

• Pair it with a light breakfast like avocado toast or a smoothie bowl.
• Enjoy it as a refreshing drink alongside your favorite creamy garlic pasta for a balanced meal.
• Serve it at brunch with friends for a vibrant and healthy option.
• Use it as a base for a salad dressing by mixing it with olive oil and vinegar.

Make Ahead and Storage

If you’re like me and love to meal prep, this juice is perfect for making ahead! Here are some tips for storage:

• Store your juice in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
• Always give it a good shake before drinking, as it will separate over time.
• If you want to enjoy it later, consider freezing it in ice cube trays for a quick addition to smoothies or other drinks.
• For a refreshing summer treat, pour it into popsicle molds and freeze!
