Green Juice - Vegan recipe hero image

I’ve always believed that the kitchen is a sacred space, and nothing feels more healing than making a nourishing juice from fresh, whole ingredients.

There’s something magical about the process of watching all those greens and fruits come together to create a beautiful elixir.

Whenever I sip on this juice, I’m reminded of sunny mornings spent in my garden, picking kale and cucumbers right before juicing them.

It’s like drinking sunshine!

I usually prep a big batch on Sunday to enjoy throughout the week.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using organic produce whenever possible, especially for the greens. If you don’t have kale, spinach works just as well. The ginger adds a lovely zing, but you can leave it out if you prefer a milder flavor. And if you want it sweeter, a bit of agave or maple syrup can do wonders!

Tips & Notes

  • I keep my green juice in glass jars - they stay fresh for a couple of days in the fridge!
  • If you find the juice too thick, just add a bit more water until it’s to your liking.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll add a handful of fresh mint for a refreshing twist.
  • You can also throw in a tablespoon of chia seeds for an extra boost of omega-3s!

Storage & Freezing

Store your juice in an airtight glass container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Give it a good shake before enjoying, as some settling may occur.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen fruits or veggies?

Yes! Frozen spinach or kale can work in a pinch, but fresh definitely gives a brighter flavor. Just make sure to thaw them a bit before juicing.
