Spinach Cucumber Green Apple Juice

Okay, real talk—spinach juice doesn’t exactly sound sexy. It sounds like something your overly enthusiastic yoga teacher swears by while you’re still trying to open your water bottle. But don’t let the name fool you.

This juice is crisp, cooling, and way tastier than you’d expect from something that starts with “spinach.” And yes, it still delivers that healthy green-glow energy, minus the compost vibes.

Whether you’re detoxing (again) or just want a break from all things beige and fried, this juice is here for you.

What Makes It Awesome

Spinach by itself is kind of like that friend who’s always chill and gets along with everyone. You throw it into anything—smoothies, salads, omelets—and it just works. Same deal here.

• Cucumber keeps it cool – Hydrating, light, and full of water. It’s the ultimate “I drink spa water now” flex.
• Green apple adds the zing – Slightly tart, naturally sweet. Makes the juice way more interesting than just liquified leaves.
• Spinach brings the nutrition punch – Iron, fiber, vitamin K—aka all the stuff your multivitamin pretends to offer.
• Refreshing AF – This is the juice equivalent of a cold shower… in a good way.

It’s the kind of thing that makes you feel cleaner. Even if your browser history says otherwise.

Ingredients

This one’s as easy as your third coffee of the day:

• 1 cup fresh spinach – Wash it. Please.
• 1/2 cucumber – Peeled or not, your call.
• 1 small green apple – Core it unless you want your juice to taste like bitter regret.
• Juice of 1/2 lemon – Brightens everything and keeps the green from turning brown.
• 4–5 fresh mint leaves (optional) – Highly recommend. It’s like brushing your teeth but with a vegetable.
• 1/2 cup cold water – Or a few ice cubes if your blender can handle it.

Blend it, strain it (if you must), and sip slowly like you’re better than everyone at brunch.

Alternatives

Not everyone loves the taste of raw veggies in a cup. Fair. Here’s how to tweak it:

• Add kiwi – Still green, but fruitier.
• Swap apple for pear – Slightly sweeter, a little smoother.
• Throw in some ginger – If you’re into spice and/or pretending you’re on a juice cleanse.
• No spinach? Use kale, but it’s more intense. You’ve been warned.

This is a vibe-flex juice—you can customize it without totally ruining the point.

Calories

It’s basically nothing. Okay, not nothing, but super light:

• Spinach (1 cup): ~7 cal
• Cucumber (half): ~8 cal
• Green apple (small): ~52 cal
• Lemon: ~6 cal
• Mint + water: negligible

Total: ~70–75 calories

You could drink three of these and still be under one sad granola bar. Just saying.

FAQ

Can I make this in advance?
Yes, but drink it within 24 hours. It starts to oxidize and looks like swamp water after that. Tastes fine, but… still. Ew.

Do I need to strain it?
If you like your juice smooth, yes. If you’re into fiber and chewing your drink a little? Go unfiltered, rebel.

Will this actually help my skin?
Possibly. Spinach is loaded with antioxidants and vitamins that your skin loves. But don’t expect to glow like a glazed donut after one sip.

Can I drink this on an empty stomach?
Sure—just don’t chase it with a double espresso unless you’re into digestive roulette.

Final Thoughts

Spinach Cucumber Green Apple Juice is proof that healthy doesn’t have to mean boring. It’s simple, crisp, and makes you feel like someone who definitely owns a compost bin (even if you don’t).

It’s not flashy. It’s not trendy. But it is reliable, refreshing, and ridiculously good for you. Which, IMO, is kind of the vibe we all need right now.

Give it a shot—your body (and your hydration levels) will thank you.
