Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Kale: Thoroughly rinse the kale leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Roughly chop the leaves into smaller pieces to make them easier to juice.
- Lemon: Peel the lemon, removing as much of the white pith as possible since it can impart a bitter taste. Cut the lemon into quarters.
- Fennel: Rinse the fennel bulb and cut it in half. Remove the tough core and then chop the fennel into chunks.
- Spearmint: Rinse the spearmint leaves under cold water. If the stems are tender, you can include them; otherwise, you can remove the leaves from the stems.
- Cucumber: Rinse the cucumber and cut off both ends. Cut the cucumber into chunks.
- Apple: Rinse the apple, core it, and cut it into quarters. There's no need to peel the apple unless you prefer to.
2. Juice the Ingredients:
- Set up your juicer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Begin by juicing the kale and spearmint first, as they tend to be less juicy. Follow with the fennel, cucumber, and apple to help push the kale and mint through the juicer. Finally, juice the lemon.

3. Combine and Stir:
- Once all the ingredients have been juiced, pour the juice into a large glass or a pitcher.
- Stir the juice well to ensure all the flavors are combined.
4. Serve:
- Pour the mixed juice into individual serving glasses.
- Optionally, add a few ice cubes if you prefer your juice chilled.
- Garnish with a sprig of spearmint or a lemon slice if desired.
5. Enjoy:
- Drink immediately to enjoy the freshest taste and highest nutritional value.

By carefully selecting and preparing these fresh ingredients, you can create a juice that is both delicious and beneficial for your health. Enjoy this kale, lemon, fennel, spearmint, cucumber, and apple juice as a delightful way to hydrate and nourish your body. Cheers to a healthier you!
