Ingredients
Use organic produce if possible to avoid pesticides, especially for the leafy greens.
2 cups Fresh Spinach (packed tight)
1 Green Apple (cored and chopped)
1 Cucumber (medium size)
1/2 Lemon (peeled)
1-inch piece of Fresh Ginger (peeled)
1 cup Cold Water (or Coconut Water for extra electrolytes)

Wash Everything: Thoroughly rinse your spinach, apple, and cucumber Cleanliness is key!
Prep the Base: Add the spinach and the water to your blender first Blend this alone until it becomes a smooth green liquid. (Pro Tip: This prevents leafy chunks in your final drink!).
Add the Crunch: Toss in the apple, cucumber, ginger, and lemon.
Blend High: Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth.
Strain (Optional): If you prefer a pulp-free juice like the store-bought versions, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or a nut milk bag. If you want the fiber for digestion, drink it as is!
Serve: Pour over ice immediately. Fresh juice is best consumed within 15 minutes to maximize vitamin potency.
