Ingredients for Spinach Green Juice Shots

You only need four simple ingredients for this homemade green juice recipe.

• 1 cup fresh spinach: Baby spinach works well because it has a mild flavor.

• 1 green apple: Provides natural sweetness to balance the spinach.
• ½ lemon, peeled: Adds a bright citrus flavor.

How to Make Spinach Green Juice Shots

Wash the produce. Rinse the spinach, cucumber, and apple thoroughly. Cut the cucumber and apple into pieces that fit your juicer. Remove the apple core and seeds.

Prepare the lemon. Peel the lemon, removing as much of the bitter white pith as you can.

Juice the ingredients. Run the spinach, cucumber, apple, and lemon through your juicer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Alternating the spinach with pieces of cucumber or apple may help leafy greens move through the juicer.

Stir and serve. Stir the juice well and pour into small glasses. Enjoy immediately for the freshest flavor.

This recipe makes a small amount of juice, depending on the size and juiciness of your produce and the efficiency of your juicer. If you want a larger serving, simply increase the ingredients.

Tips for Making Fresh Green Juice

Adjust the flavor. If the juice tastes too earthy, add a little more apple or lemon. You can also add a splash of water to make the flavor milder.

Add ginger. A small piece of fresh ginger gives the juice a spicy kick that pairs well with spinach, apple, and lemon.

Use fresh ingredients. Fresh spinach and crisp apples help give the juice its best flavor.

No juicer? Blend the ingredients with a little water until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer or nut-milk bag if you prefer a thinner juice. The result will be slightly different from juice made in a juicer.

Using My New Juicer

I recently started experimenting with homemade juices and wellness shots using my new Ninja NeverClog Cold Press Juicer.

I wanted an easy way to work with fresh ingredients like spinach, ginger, turmeric, carrots, and citrus, and it’s been fun trying different combinations in my own kitchen.

Leafy greens like spinach are a great ingredient to experiment with when making green juice. Combining them with fruits and vegetables that add sweetness and freshness helps balance the flavor.

I’m still trying new combinations and will be sharing more homemade juice recipes as I go.

You don’t need a complicated list of ingredients to get started. A few fresh fruits and vegetables can make a delicious glass of homemade juice.

How to Store Fresh Spinach Juice

Fresh juice is best enjoyed right after making it. If you have leftovers, transfer them to a clean, airtight container, refrigerate promptly, and use them as soon as possible.

Fresh juice isn’t pasteurized, so handle it carefully and discard it if it develops an unusual smell or appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does spinach green juice taste bitter?

Spinach has a fairly mild flavor compared with some other leafy greens. Green apple adds sweetness, while cucumber and lemon help balance the earthy taste.

Can I use frozen spinach?

Fresh spinach is easiest to use in a juicer. If you only have frozen spinach, thawing it and using a blender may work better, although the texture and flavor will differ.

Absolutely! Fresh ginger, celery, parsley, or a little extra lemon can change the flavor. Try adding one ingredient at a time so you can find combinations you enjoy.
