Feel like you need a cleanse? Whether you’ve indulged over the holidays, a vacation or want to incorporate more vegetables into your diet, this 3-ingredient Healthy Detox Green Juice is super easy to make. Plus, it’s low carb, low in sugar, and super hydrating. Each glass contains anti-inflammatory properties and are full of vitamins! It’s the perfect way to hydrate your body and skin with whole food goodness. You can double the recipe and store in an airtight pitcher so you have it on hand for the week. But beware … it will go fast because it is delicious!
Get Your Greens with only 3 Ingredients
Healthy Detox Green Juice uses only 3 ingredients — celery, cucumber, and apple. Specifically, the recipe calls for 2 heads of celery, 3 English cucumbers and 2 apples. You can easily double this recipe to fill a pitcher for more juice on hand for the week. Be sure to throughly wash the vegetables and apples. Big bonus — no need for peeling, coring or seeding! Simply throw all vegetables into your juicer — such as the Breville Juicer used here — and it will quickly extract the skin from the vegetables and fruit so all you have left is the pure juice. Keep in mind that using a blender, such as a Vitamix, will not remove the skin and the juice will be sludgy. This will then require straining to get a nice smooth juice. So it’s worth investing in a good juicer that is easy for you to use!
Healthy Detox Green Juice Is Vitamin Rich and Low in Calories
Healthy Detox Green Juice is rich in vitamins and minerals plus low in calories. Celery is a powerhouse full of vitamins, minerals and fiber. It contains vitamin K, A and C, calcium and iron. Raw celery will give you more fiber than the juiced version, since some of the fiber will be extracted. For more fiber, you can always add raw celery to your salads, as a side dish or as a low calorie snack. Each celery stalk is under 10 calories! English cucumbers, or hothouse cucumbers, are slightly different from typical American cucumbers. They are longer in length, with thinner skin and less seeds. Nutritionally, they have similar nutrient profiles, including vitamins C, K, potassium and also have high water contents. Cucumbers are low in calories, ideal for weight loss and help maintain blood sugar. By contrast, apples are full of fiber, vitamin C, folate, magnesium and calcium. The small amount of apples in this recipe add a delicious touch of natural sweetness to your Healthy Detox Green Juice.
Healthy Detox Green Juice Is Refreshing and Hydrating
Healthy Detox Green Juice is so refreshing and hydrating! Your body will immediately feel the difference after you have a glass. The high water content makes it extremely hydrating, which is particularly helpful during dry winter months and hot summer days! The simplicity of this recipe will allow you to make this recipe over and over again! Buy your vegetables in bulk, juice away and enjoy the health benefits! Enjoy!
