Juice Bar Recipe

Prepare produce

Wash kale, spinach, parsley, cucumber, celery and apple thoroughly. Remove kale stems and core the apple. Chop cucumber and celery into pieces that will feed through your juicer or blender. Measure lemon juice and salt.

Cold-blend (blender method)

Place kale, spinach, cucumber, apple, celery and parsley into a high-speed blender with 1 cup cold water and 1 cup ice. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 45–60 seconds. If mixture is too thick, add up to 1/2 cup more water, blending to reach a juice-like consistency.

Strain (if using blender)

Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag into a pitcher, pressing or squeezing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard or reserve the pulp for smoothies or baking.

Finish and season

Stir in fresh lemon juice and sea salt to taste. Chill briefly or serve over additional ice. Yield: about 2 servings.

Juicer method

If using a centrifugal or masticating juicer, feed the kale, spinach, cucumber, apple, celery and parsley through the juicer according to manufacturer instructions. Stir in lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt, then serve over ice.

Prepare produce

Peel and segment the oranges and grapefruit (if using). Scrub and chop carrots into pieces suitable for your juicer or blender. Peel a small knob of fresh ginger if using.

Juicer method

Run orange segments, grapefruit, carrots and ginger through your juicer. If you used turmeric powder, whisk it into the extracted juice until fully incorporated. Taste and add honey or agave if you prefer sweeter juice. Serve over ice.

Blender method

Combine orange segments, grapefruit, chopped carrots, fresh ginger, turmeric powder and 1 cup ice in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth, about 45–60 seconds. Strain through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag to remove fibrous carrot pulp. Sweeten to taste with honey or agave and serve immediately over ice.

Run the half beet and half apple through the juicer with the lemon wedge for a bright 2–3 ounce shot. If using a blender, finely chop and blend with a splash of water, then strain through a fine mesh strainer. Drink chilled as a nutrient-dense add-on to any juice.
