Detox Green Juice (low-sugar + high nutrient)
Servings: 1
This detox green juice is refreshing, zesty, and full of vibrant green goodness. Kale and cucumber form a fresh, hydrating base, while lemon, ginger, and a handful of cilantro wake up your taste buds. It’s light, revitalizing, and the kind of drink that makes you feel instantly energized.
Ingredients
- 3 cups kale lacinato
- 1 cucumber washed
- 1 lemon peeled
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
- 1 inch ginger root
Instructions
- Run all the ingredients through your juicer, starting with the kale, then alternating cucumber, lemon, cilantro and ginger root for a smooth, even mix.
- Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy.
Notes
- Batch juice wisely: You can make this juice ahead and store it in airtight glass containers. I recommend making only 2–3 days’ worth at a time.
- Adjust the zing: Love ginger? Add a little extra for a spicier kick. Prefer it milder? Use just a small slice.
- Lemon love: Freshly squeezed lemon gives the best flavor, but bottled lemon juice works in a pinch if you're out of whole lemons.
- Stay cool: Serve over ice if you want a super refreshing drink, especially on warm days.
