Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 green apples core removed and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 cup seedless cucumber chopped
- 1 ounce fresh peeled ginger root
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- 1-2 tablespoon honey
- 2 cups filtered water
- Optional: juice of 1 lemon
- 1 can sparkling water or club soda
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients except the sparkling water to a high-powered blender, on high, for 30 seconds. Taste and add more honey if desired.
- Strain the mixture through a nut milk bag (or a fine-mesh strainer) into a glass jar or measuring cup, squeezing the bag (or push the juice through the strainer with a spoon). Discard the pulp.
- Add about 1/4 cup of the green juice to a glass with ice, then top with sparkling water. Garnish with lemon or cucumber.
Notes
- Green apples can be substituted with honeycrisp but the juice will be much sweeter and less tart. Honey can be substituted for maple syrup.
- This recipe fits an HYH migraine elimination diet if you omit the lemon juice.
