Vitamin-Loaded Green Juice Recipe

This vitamin-loaded green juice recipe is a nutritional powerhouse that tastes good, and is a refreshing way to keep your vegetable intake high.

According to food blogger Ksenia Prints of At the Immigrant's Table, drinking green juices is an easy and delicious way to ensure you get the most nutrients possible from different vegetables. With a mix of celery, cucumbers, and kale, this simple juice provides vitamins from some of the best powerhouse vegetables and herbs for juicing.

All you need to make this juice is a good juicer, clean vegetables and fruit (organic is good, but not wholly necessary), and about 5 minutes of time (just read our juicing guide to avoid making these common mistakes with your juicer). A little bit of effort, and you're well on your way to enjoying some vitamin-loaded green juice from the comfort of your own home, without shelling out $10 at a pricey health juice bar.

To make this green juice, all you need are a few celery ribs, kale leaves (or spinach), Lebanese or English cucumbers, ginger, and Granny Smith apples.

Add roughly chopped celery ribs, roughly torn kale leaves, and roughly chopped cucumbers to the juicer, one at a time. Then, add the halved Granny Smith apples to juicer, one at a time, then the ginger. You may need to add a touch of water to ensure your juicer processes the ginger. Alternatively, you may also blend the ginger into a paste with a bit of water, and add that to the juicer.

Pour, and serve immediately, or drink within 15 minutes for the most health benefits. If you had to blend your ginger into a paste, strain the juice for the smoothest results.

For a nice presentation, you may top each glass with a celery spear, or a few apple slices on a cocktail pick.
