Two glasses of green juice on a wooden board with veggies and fruit in the background.

Martha Stewart's Green Juice

Health in a glass! Martha says her green juice is her key to aging gracefully. I'm listening! This green juice recipe is lower in sugar compared to some out there, and loaded with nutrients. I'm sharing her original recipe from her 100th cookbook + my adaptations to make it a bit (in my opinion) more tasty for green juice newbies such as myself.
Yield: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch spinach washed well; or 3-4 cups baby spinach
  • 2 stalks celery Martha prefers hers with the leaves
  • 1 cucumber Martha suggests the Kirby variety, but that's not something I've seen, so I just use 1/2 an English cucumber
  • 1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 small bunch fresh mint
  • 1 one-inch piece fresh ginger with the peel on*
  • 2 unpeeled orange wedges

Instructions

Juicer Instructions

  • Run the ingredients through a juicer. Stir and serve.

Blender Instructions

  • Puree all of the ingredients in a blender, adding a splash of water if needed. Pour the juice through a cheesecloth-lined sieve or into a nut milk bag and press as much juice as possible out. Discard the pulp, stir the juice, and serve.

Notes

Because I like to serve this green juice over ice and cut it with water, I usually drink about half of it and save the other half for the next morning. 

My version:

*For my version, I leave out the fresh ginger entirely. The taste is just so strong. I'm sure it can become an acquired taste, but I'm not there yet. I also reduce the parsley and mint and change the cucumber and spinach to more easily accessible varieties. Finally, I've added a Granny Smith apple and fresh pineapple for some sweetness. I prefer to serve this Green Juice over ice and like to cut it with a generous splash of water. 
  • 1 Granny Smith apple, core & seeds removed
  • 2-inch slice or 4-5 chunks fresh pineapple
  • 3-4 cups (packed) baby spinach
  • 1/2 English cucumber
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh parsley
  • 1-2 sprigs fresh mint
  • 2 unpeeled orange wedges
