Green Detox Juice

Carrot-Orange Immunity Juice

Beet Berry Boost

Ginger Lemon Refresher

Method

Green Detox Juice

  1. 1

    Prepare produce

    Wash kale and spinach thoroughly. Peel cucumber if preferred and chop into chunks. Core and chop the green apple. Chop celery into pieces that will fit your blender or juicer.

  2. 2

    Juice or blend

    If using a juicer: feed kale, spinach, cucumber, apple, and celery through the juicer. Collect the juice in a pitcher. If using a blender: add kale, spinach, cucumber, apple, celery, 1 cup cold water (or coconut water) and the ginger to the blender and blend on high until smooth.

  3. 3

    Strain (if blended)

    If blended, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag into a bowl or pitcher, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard or save the pulp for compost or baking.

  4. 4

    Finish and serve

    Stir in fresh lemon juice and a pinch of salt to taste. Add ice if desired and give a final stir. Serve immediately for maximum nutrients.

Carrot-Orange Immunity Juice

  1. 5

    Prepare ingredients

    Wash and roughly chop carrots. Juice or segment oranges to yield about 1 cup of juice. Peel ginger; measure turmeric.

  2. 6

    Juice

    If using a juicer: run carrots and ginger through the juicer and combine with the fresh orange juice in a pitcher. If using a blender: add carrots, orange juice, ginger, turmeric, and 1/2 cup cold water to the blender and blend until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag to remove fiber.

  3. 7

    Season and sweeten

    Stir in lemon juice, honey or agave if using, and a pinch of black pepper to help turmeric absorption. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as desired.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Pour over ice and serve immediately. Shake or stir before serving if separation occurs.

Beet Berry Boost

  1. 9

    Prepare produce

    Peel and chop the beet into small pieces. Core and chop the red apple. If using frozen berries, let them sit for a few minutes to loosen or use a little extra water.

  2. 10

    Blend or juice

    If using a juicer: feed beet, apple, and berries through the juicer and collect the juice. If using a blender: add beet, berries, apple, 1/2 cup cold water, and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag for a smoother juice.

  3. 11

    Finish

    Stir in fresh lime juice and maple syrup if using. Taste and adjust sweetness. Serve chilled over ice.

Ginger Lemon Refresher

  1. 12

    Make ginger infusion

    Bruise or lightly crush the sliced ginger to release flavor. In a small saucepan, combine the ginger with 1 cup of the cold water and bring to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep 5–10 minutes for stronger flavor. Strain to remove ginger slices.

  2. 13

    Combine and sweeten

    In a pitcher, combine the strained ginger infusion with the remaining 1 cup cold or sparkling water and the fresh lemon juice. Stir in honey or simple syrup while the liquid is still slightly warm so it dissolves easily; adjust to taste.

  3. 14

    Chill and serve

    Add ice and mint leaves to the pitcher or individual glasses. Pour the ginger lemon refresher over ice and garnish with extra mint if desired. Serve immediately.
