How to Make Refreshing Green Juice with Homegrown Greens
Ingredients
You only need 7 simple ingredients to create this revitalizing drink:
- Celery – Hydrating and full of nutrients, it's the perfect juice base. Use 1-2 stalks per glass.
- Kale – Packed with vitamins and minerals for immunity support. Use a few baby leaves or a small handful of mature leaves.
- Rainbow chard – A versatile green that adds extra goodness without pesticides. You can also substitute with other fresh greens.
- Cucumber – Mild in flavor and ultra-hydrating. Choose organic if possible!
- Green apple – Adds natural sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Mint leaves – Brings a refreshing touch and is loaded with antioxidants.
- Ginger – Provides a subtle spicy kick and is rich in antioxidants.
Instructions
Wash everything thoroughly, using organic produce whenever possible.
Chop apples into 2-inch pieces for easier juicing. You can peel them if preferred.
Remove the apple seeds and core.
Chop celery, cucumbers, and ginger into small pieces.
Use sharp scissors to cut a handful of kale and rainbow chard from your SaraGaia Smart Garden.
Pick a few fresh mint leaves.
Turn on your juicer and gradually feed in the ingredients. We recommend juicing in this order:
Celery
Apple & cucumber
Mint & herbs
Kale & rainbow chard
Finish with ginger
Tip: Avoid stuffing too many ingredients into the juicer at once, as it may clog the machine.
