Low-Carb Blueberry, Lemon, and Spinach Antioxidant Juice
This invigorating Low-Carb Blueberry, Lemon, and Spinach Antioxidant Juice blends the tartness of lemon, the sweetness of blueberries, and the earthiness of spinach into a refreshing drink that's not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. Perfect for those on a ketogenic diet, it's a powerhouse of antioxidants and vitamins with minimal carbohydrates.
Begin by thoroughly washing the blueberries and spinach leaves to remove any dirt or debris.
Peel the lemon, carefully removing the seeds to avoid bitterness in your juice.
In a blender, combine the blueberries, spinach, and lemon. Blend on high until the mixture starts to become smooth.
Add the chia seeds to the blender. These will not only add texture and fiber but also help to thicken the juice slightly.
Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and add the ice cubes. Blend again on high until you achieve a smooth consistency. If the juice is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more almond milk or water to reach your desired thickness.
Taste the juice and, if desired, add a natural low-carb sweetener like stevia or erythritol. Blend briefly to incorporate the sweetener throughout the juice.
Serve the juice immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes if you prefer it colder.
