Green Juice
Yield: 8 servings
Green Juice is an easy blender recipe that whirls together spinach, parsley, cucumber, celery, green bell pepper, and orange juice to make a bright and refreshing sip.
Ingredients
- 3 ounces fresh spinach
- 2 ounces cucumber with skin on, sliced
- 1 ounce Italian parsley
- 1 ounce green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 ounce celery, sliced
- 52 oun ces orange juice, not from concentrate
Instructions
- Add all fresh green ingredients to the pitcher of a high-powered blender. Pour in 1 cup of the orange juice. Blend on medium-high speed until very smooth. Remove pitcher from blender and pour in the remaining orange juice. Stir to combine. Do not blend again, as this makes the green juice overly frothy.
- Pour green juice into a covered pitcher or carafe and refrigerate. It will keep well for about 4 days. Combine/shake well before pouring.
Notes
Tip: I like to purchase orange juice in the 52-oz. plastic carafes. Then pour the green juice back into the same carafe for storing in the refrigerator. Just be sure to leave a couple inches of head space, for easy shaking prior to pouring. There will be one or two servings of green juice that won't fit into the carafe, so just go ahead and drink that right away. :)
This recipe inspired by our family trip to Mexico, where green juice was served each morning at the resort breakfast buffet.
