Cuisine: Juice
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 apple, cored and chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 inch ginger, peeled
- Water as needed
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of chopped kale, 2 peeled and chopped carrots, 1 cored and chopped apple, the juice of 1 lemon, 1 inch of peeled ginger, and water as needed.
- Wash the kale thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit. After washing, chop the kale into smaller pieces to make it easier to juice.
- Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler and chop them into smaller chunks. This will help them blend more easily in the juicer.
- Core the apple and chop it into smaller pieces. You can leave the skin on for added nutrients, but ensure it is washed well.
- Juice the lemon by cutting it in half and using a citrus juicer or your hands to extract the juice, removing any seeds that may fall in.
- Peel the ginger and slice it into smaller pieces to facilitate juicing. Ginger adds a nice kick to your juice.
- Once all the ingredients are prepped, assemble them in your juicer. Start with the kale, followed by the carrots, apple, ginger, and finally pour in the lemon juice.
- If your juicer has a feed chute, feed the ingredients in gradually to ensure a smooth extraction process. If using a blender, combine all ingredients with a little water to help blend smoothly.
- If using a blender, blend until smooth and then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher to separate the juice from the pulp.
- Adjust the consistency of your juice by adding water as needed, depending on how thick or thin you prefer your juice.
- Once you have your desired consistency, pour the juice into glasses and serve immediately for the best flavor and nutrient retention.
- Enjoy your refreshing and nutritious kale and carrot green juice!
Tips
- Choose Fresh, Organic Ingredients: The quality of your juice depends entirely on the freshness of your produce. Opt for organic kale and carrots to maximize nutritional benefits and minimize pesticide exposure.
- Prep Like a Pro: Wash all produce thoroughly, especially leafy greens like kale, to remove any dirt or potential contaminants.
- Maximize Nutrient Extraction: Start with softer ingredients like kale and apple, followed by harder vegetables like carrots to help push through all the ingredients in your juicer.
- Don't Waste the Pulp: Save the leftover pulp for smoothies, baking, or composting – it's packed with fiber and nutrients!
- Serve Immediately: Green juices are most nutritious when consumed right away. The longer it sits, the more nutrients it loses, so drink up quickly!
- Experiment with Temperature: While this juice is delicious at room temperature, you can also chill it for a refreshing twist, especially on hot days.
- Storage Tip: If you must store the juice, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 24-48 hours for optimal taste and nutrition.
