Green Apple Juice Benefits

Green apples are crispy, tart, and tasty, with a generous hint of sweetness.

The tender baby spinach leaves in this recipe give this juice an earthy but smooth flavor, and the fiery ginger and zesty lemon provide ample zing to wake your tastebuds up! 

Cooling cucumber brings it together in a well-balanced, tasty juice that packs a powerful, healthy punch. All of the ingredients in this Green Apple Juice are easy to find and relatively inexpensive at the grocery store. They’re also super healthy.

Key Ingredients

All the ingredients in this healthy juice are nutritious and delicious. The fresher they are, the better.

Green Apples 

Green apples are slightly more sour than red apples. Some popular varieties are Granny Smith apples, Pippin, and Crispin apples, each with a different flavor profile. You can use any of these apples for this recipe as long as they’re fresh.

Did you know that green apples have less sugar and fewer carbs than red ones and are a little more nutritious? They contain pectin, which works as a prebiotic and can help you break down foods more effectively.

A glass of apple juice is so refreshing, and adding some leafy greens helps add even more essential vitamins and nutrients.

Cucumber

When you choose cucumbers, look for firm ones without yellow spots, soft spots, or blemishes. They should be dark green and crunchy. That way, you’ll get the most nutritious cucumbers.

These refreshing fruits contain a lot of water, so they can help keep you hydrated. 

They also contain many vital vitamins and minerals and are rich in antioxidants. Cucumbers can help lower blood sugar, promote regularity, and may even help with weight loss.

Baby Spinach 

When choosing baby spinach, make sure it’s bright green and doesn’t have any slimy or dark spots. It goes off relatively quickly, so try to use this type of spinach as soon as possible. 

Baby spinach is harvested during the early stages of the plant’s growth, usually around 15 to 35 days after its planting, so it’s young spinach. The smaller leaves have a sweeter flavor and are more tender.

Most people like to put spinach in green smoothies, but it’s also great as part of a healthy green juice recipe.

Lemon 

Even the pulp of lemon is rich in vitamins that stimulate your immune system! Lemons are full of vitamin C. Just one lemon contains around half of your recommended daily dose of this vital vitamin.

The only problem is that lemon juice is incredibly sour. You can’t help but pucker your lips up when you taste lemon juice.

With this recipe, you can get all the fantastic health benefits of lemons without experiencing intense sourness. 

Ginger

I love the fiery taste of ginger, but, like lemons, you have to dilute it. Ginger adds a delicious depth of flavor to this Green Apple Juice. 

Yet another super healthy ingredient, ginger can help fight germs, soothe sore muscles, and is an age-old cold remedy. It also relieves indigestion and nausea and helps with stomach ailments.

All of this, and more, makes ginger one of the healthiest plants on earth. I always add ginger to my healthy juice recipes.

Recipe Tips

  • It’s easy to double or triple this recipe for more servings.
  • You can use any apples instead of green apples for this delicious juice.
  • You can use regular spinach or kale instead of baby spinach, but the juice won’t be as sweet. 
  • It’s best to serve fresh juice straight after you make it. But you can store it in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • You can peel the green apples and cucumber if you want to, but you don’t have to. 
  • If you wish, you can use two Persian cucumbers instead of an English cucumber. You can also add other ingredients such as fresh mint or other types of fresh produce.

Recipe FAQs

Can I drink green apple juice every day?

Most people can drink this ever day. It will help boost your nutrition intake. As long as you use it as a supplement and not a meal replacement, it can be an excellent addition to your daily meals.

Is it okay to use kale instead of baby spinach in this juice?

Yes, you can swap the baby spinach for kale. Both are rich in antioxidant vitamins. However, it will taste different. Kale is not as sweet and tender as baby spinach and may not please your taste buds as much. 

Can I sweeten this green juice?

I’d recommend trying it a few times before you begin to sweeten this juice. The apples in the juice will add quite a lot of sweetness to it, but if you really don’t like the taste of it but want the nutrition, you can add a little honey, stevia, agave, or maple syrup to the juice.
