🧾Ingredients
Here’s what you need to make this Green Juice:
Green Apples: I love using Granny Smith apples for their natural sweetness and tangy flavor that balances the bitterness of greens. They’re packed with Vitamin C, antioxidants, fiber, and potassium. You can also swap them for Honey Crisp apples if you prefer.
Cucumber: I go for English cucumber because it’s sweeter and has a thin skin, making it easy to juice. It adds a crisp, refreshing taste and helps keep the juice hydrating.
Limes: Lime adds a zesty kick that brightens the juice and balances the apple’s sweetness.
Ginger: I add ginger for a flavorful boost. It’s great for digestion and gives your immune system an extra nudge.
Spinach: Spinach adds a mild, earthy flavor and a fresh green touch that blends nicely with the other ingredients.
Water: I use water to get the juice to the right consistency.
