# Ingredient list:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 cup green cabbage, chopped
02 - 1 cup kale leaves, stems removed, chopped
03 - 1 small cucumber, peeled and chopped
04 - 1 stalk celery, chopped

→ Fruit

05 - 1 green apple, cored and chopped
06 - Juice of 1 lemon

→ Flavorings

07 - 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
08 - 1/2 cup cold water (optional, for blending)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Wash all produce thoroughly under cool running water. Chop cabbage into pieces small enough for your juicer or blender. Remove kale stems and chop leaves. Peel and chop cucumber. Chop celery stalk into manageable pieces.
02 - Core and chop the green apple, leaving skin on for extra fiber. Peel the fresh ginger piece. Squeeze juice from fresh lemon, removing any seeds.
03 - Feed cabbage, kale, cucumber, celery, apple, and fresh ginger through your juicer in alternating order. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice to the extracted juice. Stir well to combine before serving.
04 - Add all chopped vegetables, apple, ginger, lemon juice, and optional water to a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Pour mixture through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag, pressing gently to extract maximum liquid. Discard or compost pulp.
05 - Pour juice into glasses over ice if desired. Serve immediately to capture maximum nutritional benefits. Stir before drinking as natural separation may occur.
