Cucumber Green Juice with Apple, Kale & Lemon

Cucumbers have been a source of nutrition for thousands of years. Native Americans, Ancient Romans, and 17th century physicians all believed in the hydrating and amazing health benefits of cucumbers.

This super veggie is a staple in the juicing community because it contains high amounts of phytonutrients, and has a neutral flavor profile making it easy to add to almost any juice recipe. If you’ve been experimenting with new recipes either at home or in your business, you’ve come to the right place!

Pro Tips

When trying to source the best cucumbers for juicing, search for medium-to-large cucumbers that are firm without any soft spots or blemishes.
Your cucumbers should be dark green with minimal to no yellow spots – these spots tend to develop once the cucumber becomes overly ripe. If your cucumbers have wax on the outside, make sure to properly remove the wax with a safe veggie wash.
Leave the stems on the kale – they typically contain a lot of flavor and juice. Coming from the farm, kale will have dirt on the leaves and needs to be thoroughly washed.

Equipment note: We used the Goodnature Hummingbird cold press juicer to make the juice for this recipe. We highly recommend this juicer for culinary purposes, as it creates the best tasting, most nutritious juice possible, and can produce it in large batches.

Does it matter if I use non organic fruits and vegetables as long as they are thoroughly washed?

Each of our recipes are for one 12 oz serving. If you want to make multiple servings, just multiply the ingredient measurements by the number of servings you want!

Hey Sandy!

There are no silly questions 😄 In our recipes, 1/3 is one-third, 1/5 is one-fifth and so on, happy juicing!
