Green Power Detox Juice – Refreshing & Nutrient-Packed

This vibrant green juice is a powerhouse of hydration, digestion support, and immune-boosting nutrients. The combination of cucumber, pineapple, lemon, ginger, and spinach makes it both refreshing and detoxifying, while the natural sweetness from pineapple balances the earthy greens.


Ingredients (Serves 1-2)

  • 2/3 cucumber – hydrating and cooling
  • 1/4 pineapple – adds natural sweetness and digestion-friendly enzymes
  • 1/2 lemon (juiced or blended with peel for extra zest) – rich in Vitamin C
  • 1-inch fresh ginger (peeled) – anti-inflammatory and aids digestion
  • Handful of spinach – packed with iron, fiber, and antioxidants
  • 1/2 to 1 cup cold water – adjust based on desired consistency
  • Ice cubes (optional) – for a refreshing, chilled drink

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients:

    • Wash all produce thoroughly.
    • Cut the cucumber into chunks (leave the skin on for extra fiber).
    • Peel and chop the pineapple.
    • Juice the lemon or blend it with the peel for extra zest.
    • Peel and slice the ginger.
    • Rinse the spinach leaves.
  2. Blend the juice:

    • Add cucumber, pineapple, lemon juice, ginger, and spinach to a blender.
    • Pour in 1/2 cup of water to help with blending. If you prefer a thinner juice, add more.
    • Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds until smooth.
  3. Strain (optional):

    • For a smoother juice, strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
    • Press down with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
  4. Serve & enjoy:

    • Pour into a glass over ice cubes.
    • Garnish with a pineapple wedge or a lemon slice for a tropical touch.
