    🧾 Ingredients

    This broccoli juice recipe is made with just a few delicious ingredients:

    • Raw broccoli: this green vegetable is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants; broccoli boosts overall health and supports a strong immune system, while its high fiber content aids digestion.
    • Cucumber: Cucumber adds hydration and essential nutrients like vitamin K and potassium while also providing a refreshing taste that balances the robust flavors of other ingredients.
    • Green Apple: Green apples offer a slightly tart and sweet flavor while being loaded with antioxidants and dietary fiber that promote heart health and regulate blood sugar levels.
    • Fresh Ginger: Ginger imparts a zesty flavor and is known for its anti-inflammatory and digestive properties, which can help alleviate nausea and support a healthy diet and gut.
    • Lemon Juice: Lemon juice adds a tangy, refreshing taste and is an excellent source of vitamin C, which helps to enhance immunity and improve skin health.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    🔪 Instructions

    This broccoli drink involves 3 simple steps.

    1. Washing and preparing your ingredients. Peel the lemon. Removing the skin and white parts.
    2. Chopping in sizable chunks.
    3. Juicing your veggies, fruit, and ginger roots.

    Step 1: Cut the broccoli into smaller florets, chop the cucumber and green apple into pieces that will fit into your juicer, and add the ginger. Peel the lemon, leaving the peelings and white parts behind.

    Step 2: Turn on your cold-pressed juicer and start feeding the ingredients through the chute, beginning with the softer ingredients and the tougher ones.

    juicing broccoli with other ingredients.

    Step 3: Juice until all the produce has gone through.

    two separate jars, one with broccoli juice and the other with green reusable pulp.

    Step 4: Serve and Enjoy: Pour your freshly made broccoli juice into a glass; add some ice if desired.

    Hint: don't throw away the stems; you can also juice them, which are equally nutritious.

    serving broccoli green juice.

    Hint: Don't let your juice pulp go to waste! You can easily repurpose it to create tasty crackers, quiches, or tarts.

    Hint: If you're eager to try this amazing broccoli juice but don't have a juicer at hand, don't worry! You can still make it using a blender and a nut milk bag to separate the pulp from the fresh juice. Just remember to add a cup of filtered water to help your blender work its magic more easily.

    Read on: how to juice without a juicer (fully-explained technique) or see how to do it for this drink on the recipe card.

    🍶 Substitutions

    • Ginger: If you're not a fan of ginger or don't have it on hand, try using a pinch of ground turmeric or a small piece of fresh turmeric root for a similar anti-inflammatory effect and a mild, earthy flavor. You can also replace it with 10 mint or spearmint leaves.
    • Cucumber: For a different taste or if cucumbers are unavailable, you can substitute them with celery, Swiss chard, or zucchini, which will still provide a refreshing flavor and contribute essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals.
    • Green Apple: consider using a ripe pear or a red apple for a slightly sweeter taste while still benefiting from the antioxidants and fiber present in these fruits. You can also add ⅓ cup of apple juice. Pineapple is also a great sub.
    • Broccoli: Swapping broccoli with Brussels sprouts is an excellent choice, as they are both cruciferous vegetables and share similar nutritional profiles, as it is part of the cabbage family, including high levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Check out our juice with cauliflower.

    Sweet potato is also a great pairing for the juice, but remember that the green color will be left behind. Try out our carrot, apple, and sweet potato juice.

    📖 Preparation tips for juicing broccoli

    When preparing broccoli for juicing, there are a few essential tips to keep in mind to ensure the best possible results:

    1. Wash thoroughly: Start by washing the broccoli thoroughly under running water, removing any dirt or debris. You may also want to soak the broccoli in water for a few minutes to help loosen any dirt trapped in the crevices.
    2. Cut into small pieces: To make the broccoli more manageable for juicing, cut it into smaller pieces, including the stem. This will help ensure the broccoli is evenly juiced and the juicer can efficiently process it.
    3. Peel the stem (optional): While the broccoli stem can be juiced, some people prefer to peel off the tough outer layer for a smoother texture. Use a vegetable peeler or knife to remove the outer skin. We use the stem as it is!
    4. Add to the juicer: Once the broccoli is prepared, add it to your juicer, alternating it with other ingredients as desired to ensure a well-mixed juice.

    🍽 Equipment

    Juicer: Opt for a cold-pressed juicer (affiliate link) over a centrifugal one. Although they might be a bit pricier, they're definitely worth it in the long run. Cold-pressed juicers yield more juice, and since there's no heat involved, like in centrifugal juicers, your juice retains more nutrients and oxidizes more slowly (stays fresh longer).

    OR

    1. Blender: If you don't have a juicer, a high-speed blender will do the trick, and,
    2. Mesh Strainer: When making juice, use a traditional colander or nut milk bags. We recommend using the same ones we use for making almond milk.
    3. Bowl: Use a large bowl to keep your kitchen mess-free during blending, especially in the mornings. It makes working with the blender method so much easier and more enjoyable!

    🥡 Storage

    Store this carrot juice in a BPA-free (affiliate link), tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Feel free to freeze your fresh broccoli juice in an airtight container, but remember that it's best enjoyed within 3 months of freezing. Although it might not have the exact same nutrient density as fresh juice, you can still delight in its health benefits when you're ready to sip on this tasty treat.

    💡 Top tip

    When juicing fresh ginger for your green juice, start with a small piece and gradually increase the amount to suit your taste buds. Ginger adds a zesty kick to your green juice while enhancing its health benefits with anti-inflammatory and digestive properties.
