Kale Cucumber Apple Mint Juice Recipe
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups of kale (about 4 leaves)
- 1 english cucumber
- 1 granny smith apple
- 1/4 cup of mint leaves
Start by washing your kale leaves, cucumber, apple and mint leaves.
I then ripped my kale from the actual stem, which I do not juice. I cut the cucumber and apple into smaller chunks that I knew my juicer would be able to more easily process.
I started juicing by putting in all my mint leaves followed by some apple and cucumber. I then added in some kale and alternated adding in apple or cucumber so that the kale would be more easily processed by my juicer. I continued this way until I had juiced all of my ingredients. You’ll be left with one and a half cups of this delicious, refreshing, slightly tart green juice.
Enjoy immediately or store up to three days in an air-tight container!
