Here’s a delicious and simple Collard Green Juice recipe using collard greens, cucumber, lemon, ginger, and apple. Make it in a juicer or blender!

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3–4 fresh collard green leaves, washed and patted dry (see notes about stems)
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 lemon, peeled
  • 1 one-inch piece of fresh ginger
  • 1 green apple
  • 1 cup water (if using a blender)

Instructions

  1. Cut the 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.
  2. 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.
  3. If you are using a food processor or blender, add the collard green leaves, cucumber, lemon, ginger, lemon, apple, and water to the base. Blend or process on high for 20-30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth.
  4. 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.
  5. Serve the juice immediately.

Notes

  1. You can easily double or triple this recipe for more servings.
  2. 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.
