Ingredients

green apple 7.75 oz 220 g 1 1/5 medium apples
cucumber 3.7 oz 105 g 1/2 cucumber
pear 2.5 oz 71 g 2/5 medium pear
kale 1.8 oz 51 g 3/4 cups chopped kale
lime 1 oz 28 g 1/2 lime
ginger 0.35 oz 10 g 1 1/4 inch chunk of ginger root
apple cider vinegar 0.15 oz 4 g 1 teaspoon
spirulina (green or blue) 0.05 oz 1 g A little less than 1/2 teaspoon
turmeric root 0.02 oz 0.6 g 1/10 inch chunk of turmeric root

Directions

  1. Wash and weigh the produce.

  2. Quarter the lime (leaving skin on) and place directly into the press. If you don’t have a juice press, peel the lemon and juice with the rest of the ingredients.

  3. Grind remaining produce together and press.

  4. Add the spirulina to a bowl, slowly pour some juice into the bowl (to avoid clumping) and whisk. Combine mixture with the remainder of the juice.

  5. Add the vinegar to the juice.

Pro tips

  • Not sure what apple to choose? Fuji apples are a great choice, as they are known for their juicy and sweet flavor profile.

  • We used phycocyanin, an extract of spirulina, which is blue in color. If you want a greener juice, use the full spectrum (green) spirulina variety or chlorella.
