Green juice is super easy for your body to digest, and in the morning on an empty stomach it’s a great way to deeply nourish your body.

Green juice is a great way to power up for the day! It’s light enough that you can drink it and still do an active yoga class or your favorite workout. Your body will draw energy and power from the nutrients in the juice! It’s also a great way to replenish after a practice or activity as well.

The ingredients in this juice are designed to give you strength and power (kale and spinach), hydrate the body (cucumber), support digestion (apple and ginger) and boost immunity (orange and lemon). It's the perfect all around go to green juice recipe!

The Ingredients:

  • 1 cucumber
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 2 cups kale
  • 2 apples, cored
  • 1 orange
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh ginger root

The Process:

Chop and peel the veg and add all the ingredients to a masticating juicer one at a time. Begin with the cucumber and use the apples after the green leafy vegetables to make sure no greens are left in the juicer.
