Ingredients
Scale
Greens:
- 2 handfuls greens (spring mix or kale)
- 1 piece ginger
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2–3 large stalks celery, chopped
- 1/2 large cucumber, sliced
Fruits:
- 1 green apple, sliced
- 2 cups fresh pineapple, diced
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 2 limes, juiced
Liquid:
- 5 cups (1.2 liters) coconut water (plus extra if needed for blending)
Instructions
- Gather and wash fresh kale, spinach, green apple, cucumber, ginger, and lemon, ensuring all produce is crisp and vibrant.
- Trim and roughly chop green leafy vegetables and apple into manageable chunks to facilitate smooth blending.
- Peel ginger and cut into small pieces, removing any tough outer skin for smoother juice extraction.
- Add all prepared ingredients into high-powered blender, ensuring maximum surface area for efficient processing.
- Pulse and blend ingredients at high speed for 45-60 seconds until mixture becomes uniformly smooth and vibrant green.
- Position fine-mesh strainer over large bowl, gradually pouring blended mixture through, using spatula to press and extract maximum liquid.
- Gently press pulp against strainer’s mesh to release additional nutrient-rich juice without forcing through solid particles.
- Pour strained liquid into clean glass bottles or airtight container, leaving slight headspace for potential expansion.
- Refrigerate wellness shots immediately, consuming within 3-4 days for optimal freshness and nutritional potency.
- Serve chilled, shaking bottle gently before pouring to redistribute any natural separation that might occur during storage.
Notes
- Adjust ingredient proportions to customize sweetness and potency of wellness shot.
- Experiment with different green leafy vegetables like kale or Swiss chard for varied nutritional profiles.
- Use a high-powered blender to ensure smooth, consistent texture without chunks.
- Squeeze fresh citrus just before blending to maximize vitamin C and enhance flavor preservation.
