Energizing Morning Green Juice Recipe
Our Energizing Morning Green Juice
This green juice has become a staple in our home—a quick and easy way to ensure we're getting a healthy dose of nutrients no matter what the day brings. We love its refreshing, peppery taste and light consistency, which makes it a great option for those who may not be fans of thicker smoothies. Plus, it's packed with natural ingredients that give us that extra zing to start the day off right.
Ingredients:
Ingredients for the Energizing Morning Green Juice
½ tsp organic minced ginger (we prefer The Ginger People brand)
1 small to medium apple
1 small to medium orange
1.5 cups water
2 medium stalks of celery
1 heaping cup of frozen spinach
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. If you're using fresh produce, give everything a good wash. Peel the orange and chop the apple into smaller pieces if needed.
Blend: Place all the ingredients—ginger, apple, orange, water, celery, and spinach—into your blender. We use a Vitamix, which blends everything smoothly and quickly.
Blend to Perfection: Set your blender to the smoothie setting (or blend until smooth if your blender doesn't have a preset option). The mixture should be well-combined and smooth.
Pour and Enjoy: Once everything is blended, simply pour your juice into a glass and enjoy! This recipe serves two.
Optional Add-In:
For those looking to use this juice as part of a workout recovery mix, my wife sometimes adds 5 grams (or one scoop) of creatine powder from Thorne (just be sure to talk with your doctor beforehand). It's a great way to boost your recovery after a tough workout while enjoying the refreshing benefits of this green juice.
Why We Love This Juice:
We typically shy away from store-bought juices to avoid added sugars and unnecessary ingredients, which is why we love making our own at home. This green juice is not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make. It's a fantastic way to start your day on a healthy note, ensuring you get a variety of nutrients in one refreshing drink. Give it a try, and let us know how it fuels your morning!
