Method:
• Wash all vegetables and herbs thoroughly.
• Chop the cucumber, celery, apple, and ginger into small pieces to make blending easier.
• Place all ingredients—including the spinach, parsley, lemon juice, cold water, and salt—into a high-speed blender.
• Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth.
• Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve, cheesecloth, or nut milk bag to remove pulp and achieve a smooth, vibrant green liquid.
