I first whipped up this juice on a lazy Sunday morning when I was rummaging through the fridge, trying to find something to perk me up after a late night of binge-watching documentaries.
What I love about this recipe is that it’s as flexible as my yoga teacher on a good day.
I’ve discovered that adding a pinch of fresh ginger really gives it a kick and helps wake up my senses.
This juice reminds me to start the day with intention and gratitude for Mother Earth's bounty.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Carrots bring a lovely sweetness and are also great for your skin (thank you, beta-carotene!). If you’re out of spinach, I’ve subbed in kale and it’s just as delicious. Green apples add a nice tartness, but if you have other apples on hand, they’ll work just fine too.
Tips & Notes
- •I always juice my carrots and apples first, then throw in some spinach at the end to make sure it blends well.
- •If you like a bit of zing, add a small knob of ginger – it’s like a wake-up call for your taste buds.
- •I store any leftovers in a mason jar in the fridge. Just give it a good shake before drinking!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I toss in a handful of kale if I feel like I need an extra health boost.
- •On a hot day, I love adding a slice of pineapple for a tropical flair – it’s like a mini vacation in a glass.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftover juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Always shake well before serving, as separation may occur.
Frequently Asked Questions
