Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 of a medium red or purple cabbage
- 1 apple, red or green
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 lemon, peeled and sliced
- 1 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
- 1 cup water (if using a blender to make the juice)
Instructions
- Cut the cabbage, apple, and cucumber into large pieces that will fit through the feeding tube of a juicer. If you will be using a blender to make your juice, then cut your produce into smaller pieces than if you are using a juicer.
- If you are using a juicer, then run the vegetable and fruit pieces through the juicer. Collect the juice in a pitcher and serve immediately.
- If you are using a food processor or blender, add the cabbage, apple, cucumber, lemon, ginger, and water to the base. Blend or process on high for 20-30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth.
- Then, pour the blended juice through a nut milk bag, squeezing it from the top down to drain the juice into a pitcher. Discard the collected pulp, or save it and use it for another purpose.
- Serve the juice immediately.
Notes
- You can easily double or triple this recipe for more servings.
- Fresh juice is best served right after it’s made. But, it can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- This juice is very versatile! Feel free to adapt the ingredients. For instance, you can include celery instead of cucumber. Mint is also a great addition. If you don’t want the juice to be sweet, feel free to leave out the apple.
