Drink your greens! We have been making this delicious drink every few days and enjoying it daily. We are doing our best to keep our bodies well-nourished and strong. Thanks to the minimalistbaker.com for this great recipe.
We have streamlined prep work for this drink by making double batches. We also wash and chop extra quantities of cilantro, parsley, kale, spinach, cucumber, celery, and ginger to freeze together in the amounts needed for each green drink batch. Then, we just grab a bag from the freezer, add the remaining ingredients, and fresh green drinks are served!
Ingredients
- 3 cups of water
- 1/2 scant cup parsley (we use Italian parsley)
- 1/2 scant cup cilantro
- 1/2 scant cup spinach
- 1/2 scant cup kale
- 2 stalks chopped celery
- 1 sliced cucumber (we like Persian variety)
- 1 small piece fresh ginger (skin removed)
- 1 small piece turmeric root (skin removed)*
- 2 small/medium sized apples
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 lemon (2 Tablespoons) freshly squeezed lemon juice*
- abundant love
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
- Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour into a mesh straining nut milk bag.
- Serve (over ice is nice) and chill the remaining for up to 2 days.*
Notes
* One day, we were low on lemons and were able to substitute half the amount of lemon juice with fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice and, the drink was just as tasty.
* Turmeric is optional, we like it for it’s anti-inflammatory properties.
* This juice tastes best to us when chilled.
