    This green celery spinach juice recipe inspired our morning celery juice and our simple kale juice, made with celery, apple, and ginger. We wanted to make green juice, including leafy greens and just the right amount of natural sugars, and more vegetables, such as hydrating cucumber.

    This spinach juice is light and makes a fantastic weight-loss-aiding juice, and better drinks at the beginning of the day. It provides a vitamin-rich and super-hydrating base. Make sure you add this yummy drink to your weekly juicing rotation.

    🧾 Ingredients

    ingredients to make Hydrating Spinach and Green Mean apple juice.
    • Green apple - “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” the saying goes. Eating apples has been shown to improve heart health, lowering the risk of developing heart diseases (source).
    • Spinach - is a "superfood" rich in numerous vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Spinach smoothies are also a great way to consume this fantastic green.
    • Celery - aids in weight loss and has many liver-cleansing properties.
    • Cucumber - adds low-calorie hydration and minerals.
    • Fresh ginger - provides anti-inflammatory phytonutrients and has been shown to modulate insulin release (source), thus regulating blood sugar.
    • Lemon juice - enhances the flavor and adds the antioxidant Vitamin C.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    chopped apple green juice ingredients.

    Chop all the ingredients into sizeable chunks that fit into your juicer.

    adding ingredients into the juicer.

    Add ingredients into the juicer, beginning with the softer ones.

    serving Spinach and Green Mean apple juice.

    Serve or store. We like to drink our juice chilled.

    🍶 Substitutions

    Green juices are super versatile, so you can play around, especially when you don't have all the ingredients a recipe calls for. Always try using fresh produce with bright green color.

    • Green apple - you can substitute it with chunks of firm pineapple.
    • Spinach - use kale or Swiss chard instead.
    • Lemon juice - use lime juice instead.
    • Celery or cucumber - sub for the same amount of the missing vegetable.

    Hint: use baby spinach if you don't love the taste of the leafy greens, as its flavor is more delicate.

    📖 Variations

    • Green smoothie - take all the ingredients in this spinach apple recipe, and instead of juicing them, bring them to a high-powered blender with a glass of water and a couple of ice cubes. This way, you will ingest all of the fresh produce´s fiber.
    • More anti-inflammatory powers - add turmeric root to the mix. Keep in mind that turmeric may stain your juicer, so it might be better to add a half teaspoon of turmeric powder directly into your juice and mix it well with a fork. Add a pinch of black pepper to activate turmeric's properties.

    🍽 Equipment

    Get an excellent Cold-Pressed juicer (affiliate link); it will be one of the best investments you have made in the year! Trust me! Check the juicer's instructions before starting, as many juicers have different working mechanisms.

    If you don't have a juicer, you can add everything into a blender and pass it through a colander. Then serve the strained juice in drinking glasses.

    🫙 Storage 

    Store this spinach juice in a glass container such as a mason jar or a BPA-free airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours.

    💡 5 Health benefits of this Apple Spinach Juice recipe

    1. This green apple and spinach juice contains some of Earth's most nutritious fruits and vegetables. It has a very balanced amount of sugars and low-calorie and hydrating vegetables.
    2. The juice contains Vitamin K, E, iron, and folic acid, which are great for bone health and contain many antioxidant properties.
    3. Spinach is a great source of lutein, an antioxidant that protects your eyes from age-related diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts. Studies have found people who take supplements containing this nutrient are at lower risk for developing these conditions, which can lead to blindness or severe vision problems!
    4. Lutein is a nutrient that helps preserve cognitive abilities. Studies have shown it to be present at higher levels among older adults. They exhibit better verbal fluency, memory retention, reasoning ability, and processing speed than those who don't consume enough lutein.
    5. Ginger contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, which have many benefits for your health! The ginger side effects include improving coughs, lowering fevers, or fighting off infections - it's an excellent remedy when you're sick at any time of year (and not just during winter).

    ❓FAQ

    Can I drink green apple juice at night?

    Yes. Green apple juice is a good source of minerals, vitamins, and enzymes that benefit the body. It can help to detoxify the liver and improve digestion.
    Some people recommend drinking green apple juice at night because it has a slightly laxative effect and can help to cleanse the system before bed. However, listening to your body and drinking only as much as you feel comfortable drinking is essential.
    Also, remember that apples have high sugar content, so if you have diabetes or metabolic disease, it is better to refrain from having sugary drinks altogether.

    Which green apple is best for juicing?

    Granny Smith apples are the best for juicing because of their tart, crispy taste.
    Other green apples such as Crispin, Shizuka, or Pippin Apples are also good for juicing, but Granny Smith apples are a bit more tart and therefore provide a more refreshing drink. They're perfect for those who want to start their day with a healthy dose of greens!

    Calories in green apple?

    A medium 3 inches diameter green apple (182 g) has approximately 95 calories.
