📖 Instructions

1. Gather all your ingredients: one green apple, peeled and cored; 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled; 1 cup of spinach; 1/2 cup of cucumber; 1/2 cup of celery; 1/2 cup of water; and a few ice cubes (optional).
2. Wash the produce: Thoroughly wash the apple, spinach, cucumber, and celery to remove any dirt or residue. This step is super important, especially if the produce isn't organic.
3. Prepare the ingredients: Roughly chop the apple, cucumber, and celery into smaller pieces. This helps your blender process them more easily. Ginger should be peeled and can be left as a small chunk. If you are someone who doesn't really mind the chunk, you could add bigger pieces.
4. Add ingredients to the blender: Add the water to the blender first. Then, add the spinach, cucumber, celery, apple, and ginger. Layering the ingredients like this can help the blender create a smoother consistency.
5. Blend until smooth: Close the lid tightly and start blending on a low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth. If you notice the blender struggling, stop and stir the ingredients before continuing. You could add a touch more water to help it along if needed.
6. Check the consistency: Once blended, check the juice's consistency. If it's too thick for your liking, add a little more water and blend again until you reach your desired consistency. I like mine not too thick, so it's easy to drink quickly.
7. Add ice (optional): If you prefer your juice chilled, add a few ice cubes to the blender and pulse a few times until the ice is crushed and the juice is cold. Be careful not to over-blend, or the juice will become watery.
8. Pour and enjoy immediately: Pour the green juice into a glass and drink immediately. Freshly made juice retains the most nutrients and flavor. If you must store it, see the FAQ for storage tips.
