A crisp and vibrant juice, perfect for hydration and a natural boost of nutrients.
Ingredients (Serves 1–2)
-
2 cups fresh baby spinach

½ large cucumber, sliced

Core and slice the apple, peel the lemon, and chop cucumber and celery to fit your juicer.
2. Juice the Ingredients:

Begin with the spinach, followed by celery, apple, cucumber, and lemon. This order helps extract maximum juice from leafy greens first.
