If you’re trying to lose a few pounds, consider this delicious and appetite-balancing Green Juice Recipe for Weight Loss! This easy recipe can be made in a juicer or a blender and uses produce that is affordable and easy to find.

  • Total Time: 15 Minutes
  • Yield: 2 Servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 large kale leaves, stems removed
  • 1 green apple, cored
  • 1 lime, skin removed
  • 1 cup lettuce leaves (about 4-8 leaves depending on the size of the lettuce)
  • 1 medium cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill
  • 1 cup water, if using a blender to make the juice

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, stir in the coconut water, and serve immediately.
  3. If you are using a food processor or blender, add the cucumber, pineapple, lemon, ginger, and coconut 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.
  3. You can peel the cucumber if you want to, but you don’t have to. You can also use two Persian cucumbers instead of an English cucumber if you wish.
