I got our Breville juicer as a wedding gift (over 5 years ago which seems crazy!). I used it SO much at first. But since then, since having a baby, I have hardly touched my juicer. I even debated getting rid of it at one point (we’ve been particularly adverse to clutter lately) but knew I would regret it as soon as I did. SO glad that we kept it.

I’ve been making this truly basic green juice recipe lately and guys it’s WORTH THE POT! It’s a green juice recipe for people that aren’t genuinely sure if they will like green juice. The apple in this dish make it rather sweet and so it ends up tasting a lot like ginger apple juice (that simply so happens to be green). It’s the GO-TO green juice recipe I’ve made at home and know that unfussy to crave it!

How for this MEAN Green Juice:

I suggest checking the manual on your juicer. Different juicers have different speed levels and each fruit and vegetable is technically supposed to be juiced at a different speed depending on it’s thickness and texture. I’m often lazy and do mine all on the same speed (my juicer only has 2 speeds but many of the newer ones have more).

With the juicer on, simple add all of your ingredients into the juicer. AND…that’s it:) Did you truly need me to tell you how to do that?:D

As you’ll notice in the video below, I add most things in whole. I cut the lemon in half but I didn’t bother peeling it. You can throw most peels right into the blender and the juicer will do all of the hard work. Usually the only time that I bother cutting fruits or vegetables is if they won’t fit into the juicer otherwise.

Feel free to experiment with this method if you want it more or less sweet. This is truly only a base recipe and you can add to or subtract from it as you see fit.

What does green juice taste like anyways?

All green juices are different but this one is quite sweet. I refer to it as a Green Apple Juice because genuinely, it tastes a lot like apple juice that’s green and with a nice kick of ginger:). So, maybe we should call it Green Apple Ginger Juice? That feels like too much. Let’s stick with simply green juice.
