Morning juice with apple, carrot, celery, cucumber, kale, lime, orange and parsley FAQ:
Fresh juice is best consumed immediately for optimal taste and nutrient retention. If stored in the fridge, consume within 24-48 hours. Store in an airtight container to reduce oxidation.
Yes, you can substitute spinach with other leafy greens such as Swiss chard or romaine lettuce. Each will provide a slightly different flavor and nutrient profile.
A centrifugal juicer works well for this recipe as it can effectively juice the hard and soft ingredients. A masticating juicer can also be used for higher juice yield and nutrient retention.
To add sweetness, consider including an extra apple or a small piece of pineapple. You could also add a splash of honey or maple syrup, but keep in mind this will alter the health profile.
Peeling the cucumber and lime is optional. Keeping the skin retains additional nutrients and fiber, but if you prefer a smoother juice, feel free to peel them.
Tips:
- Wash all the ingredients thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides.
- Peel the lime and orange to avoid bitterness from the skin.
- Cut the ingredients into smaller pieces to make blending or juicing easier.
- Use a high-quality juicer or blender to ensure a smooth, consistent texture.
- Strain the juice if you prefer it pulp-free.
