Ingredients

• 1 cup green cabbage, chopped
• 1 cup kale leaves, stems removed, chopped
• 1 small cucumber, peeled and chopped
• 1 stalk celery, chopped

• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
• 1/2 cup cold water (optional, for blending)

Instructions

1. Cleaning

Wash all produce thoroughly.

2. Preparation

Prepare all ingredients as directed by chopping, peeling, and coring.

3. Juicing Method

Feed the cabbage, kale, cucumber, celery, apple, ginger, and lemon juice through the juicer. Stir the resulting juice well before serving.

4. Blending Method

Add the cabbage, kale, cucumber, celery, apple, ginger, lemon juice, and water to a blender. Blend until smooth. If desired, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag to remove the pulp.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure you get the best results, use the freshest produce available. If you find the juice too thick when using a blender, using a nut milk bag is the best way to achieve a commercial-style juice consistency while removing the fibrous pulp.

Varianten und Anpassungen

If you prefer a sweeter juice, try adding half a ripe pear or an additional green apple to the mix. You can also easily adjust the intensity of the flavor by adding more ginger for spiciness or more lemon for extra tanginess.

Serviervorschläge

This juice is best enjoyed immediately after preparation to take full advantage of the fresh nutrients. Serve it in a tall glass with a straw and a few ice cubes for a cooling effect.
