Ingredients  

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 2 cups kale
  • 2 green apples, cored
  • 1/2 cup parsley leaves
  • 1 medium cucumber, quartered
  • 2 celery ribs, roughly chopped
  • 1 (1-inch) piece of ginger, peeled
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice

Equipment:

  • blender; fine mesh sieve (optional)

Instructions 

  • Add all of the ingredients into the blender jug in the order in which they are listed. Blend the ingredients on the highest level setting, such as "liquefy," until the juice is well-blended. (It will be the consistency of a smoothie.)
  • If you want to enjoy the pulp with your juice, pour the mixture into glasses and serve. If you prefer a thinner consistency, pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, and using a spatula, press the pulp into the sieve to extract as much liquid as possible. Pour the strained juice into glasses and serve.

Notes

  • Cheesecloth is one of the most effective ways to separate the pulp from the juice. Pour the juice into a cheesecloth set over a bowl, then lift up the corners of the cheesecloth and twist and squeeze the bundle.
  • If the ingredients aren’t moving around in the blender, try adding more water or stopping the motor and scraping down the sides.
  • Stick with leafy greens and soft, juicy fruits and vegetables or produce with a high water content. Hard, dense vegetables like carrots, beets or sweet potatoes will not liquify as well.
