Preparation

Step 1

Serious Heat

Green juice should taste as good as it makes you feel. This recipe strikes a pleasing chord with well-balanced sweet, tart, spicy, and hearty flavors.

Here are a few insider tips to really make the most of your juicing:

When juicing greens such as the kale and cilantro in this recipe, you'll get a better yield if you tightly pack the greens (roll them up before adding to the feed tube of your juicer) and place them between two harder, juicier ingredients (such as the cucumber and apple here). Nudge the greens through the juicer one small push at a time.

Stir juices together thoroughly, divide between two glasses, and serve immediately.
