Ingredients
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 large cucumber approximately 8oz / 225g
- ½ lemon, juiced 1oz / 30ml
- 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled 10g
- 1 cup cold water

Instructions
- Begin by thoroughly washing the spinach leaves and cucumber. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- Peel the cucumber and chop it into chunks small enough to fit through the feed chute of your juicer.
- Peel the ginger using the edge of a spoon or a vegetable peeler, then slice it into smaller pieces.
- Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice, making sure to remove any seeds.
- Turn on your juicer and begin by juicing the spinach leaves, followed by the cucumber chunks and ginger pieces.
- Once all the vegetables have been juiced, stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- If you prefer a colder beverage, add a few ice cubes to the juicer or blend the juice with ice in a blender for a slushie-like consistency.
- Pour the juice into glasses, garnish with mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately for the best flavor and nutrient retention.
Notes
For a sweeter taste, you may add a keto-friendly sweetener like stevia or erythritol. Remember to adjust net carbs accordingly.
The juice is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Be sure to shake or stir well before serving if it has settled.
The nutrients in this Green Goddess Juice support hydration and may aid in digestion due to the presence of ginger.
