Chef's Note

This juice is a great starter recipe with ample opportunity for substitutions & modifications. Experiment with your favorite vegetables/fruits using this recipe as a formula to help guide you.This refreshing green drink offers a crisp, clean flavor with a naturally bright and hydrating profile. Spinach and cilantro contribute antioxidants and plant compounds, while lime adds vitamin C and apple brings natural sweetness. If you strain it, you’ll get a smoother texture but lose most of the naturally occurring fiber; keeping it unstrained preserves all that plant-based fiber. It’s also ideal to drink this fresh, since some nutrients—especially water‑soluble ones like vitamin C—naturally diminish within about 24 hours.
