A healthy vitamin-filled juice recipe made of green apple, cucumber, kale, ginger, fennel, grapefruit, and lemon.
When I want a heavy dose of easy to digest vitamins, I juice. Juicing is one of my favorite healthy habits because it just makes me feel SO good. I make my Strawberry, Beet and Carrot Juice, Carrot Kale Apple Juice with Parsley, and Grape Citrus Fennel Juice regularly.
And when I’m in the mood for a green juice, I make this one with apple, kale, cucumber, fennel, and ginger. It is delicious, refreshing, sweet, earthy, and also tart all at the same time.

Why this recipe is great
- It is a great way to use up cucumber and kale in a green juice.
- It has a nice kick from the ginger and lemon.
- It has a hint of sweetness from the apple, fennel, and grapefruit.
- It is an easy way to get a lot of vitamins in a cup.
Recipe ingredients
- Green apples– Granny smith green apples work great for this juice.
- Fennel– a fresh bulb is what I used here. You don’t need the long fronds and stalks.
- Grapefruit– this adds a lovely flavor to the juice.
- Cucumber– I like using English cucumbers. If you like cucumbers try my pickled cucumber recipe.
- Kale– I like using Tuscan Kale because it is softer, but you can use any kind of kale here.
- Lemon– this compliments the other flavors well.
- Ginger– fresh ginger adds a zing here.
