This Going Green Juice Recipe is the perfect transitional drink for those who are starting on their juice diet.
Green juices are the most popular beverage that we can find on a juice menu as they are considered to be one of the healthiest options when juicing. However, they are usually vegetable-heavy, which can be unpalatable for some, especially for those juicing newbies.
If you’re new to the world of pressed juices, it’s highly suggested that you start with a recipe that’s mostly fruits. Then, begin incorporating leafy greens and root vegetables as you go along.
This Going Green Juice Recipe will help you in that transition. While it’s heavy on vegetables as well, most of them have a mild and sweet flavor. Plus, the celery that’s featured in this juice is one of the best natural antioxidant agents around. Top that with apples and oranges and you’ve got a refreshingly sweet drink that’s loaded with many health benefits.
For only 189 calories, you’ll get 11 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein. It’s also packed with vitamins A and C, potassium, calcium, and folate, among the others.

Notes
- Pressed juices are best enjoyed cold or chilled. Thus, you may do this ahead of time, keep them in a glass container or jar with a tight-fitting lid, and store it in the fridge, where it can last for up to 3 days. Otherwise, you can pour it over a glass filled with ice and drink immediately.
- This recipe calls for a juicer. But, if you don’t have one, you may use the blender instead. All you’ve got to do is chop the ingredients smaller and pulse them in the blender. However, you will probably want to strain the mixture before drinking to make the texture smoother and more pleasant. Here is a video showing you how to strain the blend. You will need a strainer like this one and a mesh bag like this one.
