- Kale: we used organic kale, but any dark leafy greens are great options.

Frequently Asked Questions
There’s a great balance of sweetness from the apple and pineapple and zing from the ginger. You’ll taste the celery and cucumber a bit, which gives it an additional fresh flavor to go with the fresh mint.
Overall, this green juice in the blender is really balanced and tastes really yummy on top of being so good for our bodies.
The key to a tasty green juice is a bit of sweetness from fruit. This recipe calls for pineapple and apple to help balance the greens from the kale and celery. I also love the freshness from the herbs and bite from the ginger.
We really like this Hurom juicer if you want to omake this in a juicer instead of a blender. Cut your fruits and veggies a little smaller and be sure to peel any citrus fruits. Run them through the juicer, using the tampeer as needed!
Can I use a blender to juice vegetables?
You don’t need a juicer to juice vegetables, you can use a blender. This recipe is designed for making it that way!
They key to making this green juice recipe in the blender is the Rawsome Creations Nut Milk Bag. It’s designed with a culinary background in mind so the holes are just the right size and the seams are on the outside for easy clean up.
I also love this nut milk bag because it’s ethically produced and made by an amazing team in Bali. This bag not only helps me make healthy and delicious recipes, but it also helps everyone on the production side as well.
What to do with leftover pulp
After you strain the juice through the nut milk bag, you’re left with the pulp from the vegetables. I tend to compost mine, but you can use it for other recipes if you don’t want to toss it. Here are 20 unique uses for leftover juice pulp.

Recipe
The Best Green Juice
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 cups kale or spinach
- 1 green apple cored and cut into chunks
- 1 cup pineapple fresh or canned with no sugar added
- 1/2 cup parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped mint
- 1 medium cucumber quartered
- 2 celery stalks roughly chopped
- 1 inch piece of ginger peeled
- Juice from 1 lemon
Instructions
- Wash all vegetables and fruits well. Add water to the blender jug then add the rest of the ingredients. Blend on the highest setting for at least one minute, until completely combined and is similar to a smoothie consistency.
- To separate the juice from the pulp, place a nut milk bag or fine mesh seive over a large glass measuring bowl (I use an 8 cup glass measuring bowl). Pour the juice milk mixture into the bowl through the nut milk bag, squeezing the mixture through the bag so all of the liquid and pulp is separated. Reserve the pulp to put in muffins or crackers.
- Drink immediately or place in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Shake well before drinking. This recipe doubles well.
