Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large apple
- 1 bulb fennel
- 1 cucumber
- 1 handful spinach
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 inch ginger
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 1 large apple, 1 bulb of fennel, 1 cucumber, a handful of spinach, 1/2 lemon, 1 inch of ginger, and 1 cup of water.
- Thoroughly wash all the fruits and vegetables under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. This is especially important for the spinach and cucumber.
- Core the apple and cut it into quarters. There’s no need to peel it, as the skin contains valuable nutrients.
- Trim the fennel bulb by cutting off the stalks and fronds. Slice the bulb into quarters and remove the tough core. The fronds can be set aside for garnish if desired.
- Peel the cucumber and cut it into chunks. This will make it easier for the juicer to process.
- Rinse the handful of spinach and remove any tough stems, if necessary.
- Peel the ginger and slice it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- In a blender, combine the apple, fennel, cucumber, spinach, ginger, and the juice of half a lemon. Add the cup of water to help with blending.
- Blend on high speed until all ingredients are well combined and smooth. If your blender has a 'juice' setting, use that for best results.
- If you prefer a smoother juice, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher to remove the pulp. Use a spoon to press down on the pulp to extract as much juice as possible.
- Pour the juice into glasses and serve immediately for the best flavor and nutrient retention. Optionally, garnish with the reserved fennel fronds or a slice of lemon.
- Enjoy your refreshing Fennel Apple Detox Green Juice as a revitalizing drink packed with nutrients!
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and nutritional benefits, opt for organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible. Fresh, ripe produce makes all the difference in your juice.
- Prep Efficiently: Gather all your ingredients before you start. This not only saves time but also makes the juicing process more enjoyable.
- Juicing Technique: If you have a high-speed blender, use it to achieve a smooth consistency. For an even finer juice, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth after blending.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to customize your juice! Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick or a handful of mint for a refreshing twist.
- Serve Immediately: For the best taste and maximum nutrient retention, drink your Fennel Apple Detox Green Juice right after making it. If you must store it, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for no more than 24 hours.
- Garnish for Presentation: Elevate your juice's visual appeal by garnishing with reserved fennel fronds or a slice of lemon on the rim of your glass.
- Hydration Boost: Consider adding coconut water instead of plain water for an extra hydration boost and a hint of sweetness.Enjoy your juicing adventure and embrace the refreshing benefits of this detox drink!
