This Super Green Juice is light, energizing, and easy on digestion, featuring a beautiful mix of green apples, cucumbers, spinach, arugula, and grapes to create a naturally sweet and hydrating elixir. It's a great way to start your day or sneak it into your daily routine to support your overall well-being.
You know I'm a juice lover, whether it's enjoying something more tropical, like my Homemade Pineapple Mango Juice, or full-on restoring with a Kidney Cleansing Detox Juice. This green juice is light, but it still supports my healthy habits and is great for those days when I'm focused on eating clean, staying hydrated, or even giving my system a little detox boost.
It's packed with leafy greens like baby spinach and arugula (full of vitamin C), while cucumbers bring such a clean, refreshing flavor to the mix. The sweetness comes entirely from green apples and grapes, which I prefer over any added sugars. It tastes fresh and naturally sweet without that overly sugary hit you get from store-bought varieties.
Using a cold-press juicer, such as the Kuvings Auto10 Plus, makes a huge difference in retaining maximum nutrients, taste, and color. And if you're in the market for one, then take advantage of my code "NATURALVEGAN" to get 10% off your entire purchase.

Ingredients To Make This Healthy Drink:
Each ingredient in this juice is selected to support overall health while maintaining a fresh, crisp, and naturally sweet flavor. Here's a quick look at what you need.
- Green Apples: Green apples are a great source of vitamin C and help balance out the earthiness of the greens. I love using Granny Smith for their tartness, but if you prefer a sweeter juice, green Gala works beautifully too.
- Cucumbers: Opt for the English cucumber if possible. They're mild, juicy, and have thinner skin, making them ideal for juicing. Cucumbers are incredibly hydrating and help add volume without overpowering the taste.
- Fresh Spinach: Whether you use baby spinach or regular, this leafy green is loaded with essential vitamins, especially vitamin C, iron, and folate. It adds a mild, slightly earthy base to the juice.
- Fresh Arugula: Arugula offers a peppery kick and is rich in antioxidants. It gives the juice a bold, green flavor and supports detoxification and immune health.
- Fresh Kale: A nutritional powerhouse, kale brings a deep green flavor and is packed with vitamins A, K, and C, along with fiber and antioxidants. It helps boost the immune system, supports liver health, and gives the juice a hearty, earthy body. Curly or lacinato (dino) kale both work well, depending on what's available.
- Green Grapes (stems removed): These naturally sweeten the juice without the need for added sugars. They also add a lovely juiciness and help balance the bitterness of the leafy greens. Use leftovers to make my Sour Green Grape Juice.
See the recipe card for quantities.
How To Make It:
The entire juicing process is incredibly simple with the Kuvings Auto10 Plus. Let me show you how.
- Prep: Wash all produce thoroughly and remove grape stems. No chopping needed.
- Load: Place everything into the Auto10 Plus hopper. The wide-mouth design handles whole fruits and veggies easily.
- Juice: Turn on the juicer and let it do the work automatically.
- Stir & Serve: Stir the juice to combine. Enjoy right away (over ice) or store in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Top Tips:
- Choose Organic When Possible: Since you're juicing the whole produce, including the skins of apples and cucumbers, using organic helps reduce pesticide exposure and supports a cleaner juice.
- Don't Skip the Grapes: They're key to naturally sweetening the juice without added sugars. The more ripe and flavorful, the better!
- Drink it Fresh for the Most Nutrients: Green juice is best enjoyed immediately for maximum vitamin C and antioxidant benefits, though it will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Stir Before Serving: If stored in the refrigerator, the juice may naturally separate. Give it a quick stir to recombine and evenly distribute the flavors and give it back that vibrant green color.
Variations And Substitutions:
I highly encourage you to try the recipe as is first and then experiment with different flavors based on your taste or to support your healthy lifestyle better. Here are a few of my favorite suggestions to switch things up.
- Swap the Greens: Try romaine lettuce (especially if you have leftovers from my Vegan Crispy Rice Salad), kale, baby Swiss chard, or even collard greens for a slightly different flavor and nutrient profile.
- Use Different Apples: If green apples are too tart, substitute with Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp for a sweeter drink. Stick with Granny Smith if you want a lower sugar content.
- Add Citrus: For a zesty twist and extra vitamin C, add lemon flesh (peeled) or a splash of fresh lime juice after juicing. This also helps preserve the juice and brighten the flavor.
- Boost the Benefits: Add a small piece of turmeric root or fresh ginger to support digestion and reduce inflammation.
Storage:
Store your fresh homemade juice in an airtight glass container in the fridge. It's best enjoyed within the first 24 hours for peak flavor and nutrients, but it will keep well for up to 3 days. Just shake before drinking.
Equipment Needed:
- Cold-Press Juicer (like the Kuvings Auto10 Plus): This kitchen tool is ideal for extracting juice from both leafy greens and whole fruits while preserving nutrients and extracting every last drop. The wide-mouth hopper saves you time, and no chopping is needed! Shopping for one? Then use my code "NATURALVEGAN" to get 10% off.
- Produce Brush or Vegetable Scrubber (optional): Helpful for thoroughly cleaning cucumbers, apples, and grapes.
- Large Bowl or Colander: Great for washing and rinsing all your fresh produce.
- Glass Jars or Pitcher: Use airtight glass jars or a sealed pitcher to store leftover juice in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Long Spoon or Stirring Stick: To mix the juice after juicing or storing, and ensure all flavors are evenly combined.
Recipe FAQs:
Yes! You can blend everything and strain it using a nut milk bag. While you won't get quite the same amount of juice or nutrient density as with a cold-press juicer, it's still a healthy drink and a great option if you don't own a juicer.
Absolutely. It's low in sugar and packed with essential vitamins. It's also hydrating and filling, which can help curb cravings and support healthy habits.
Absolutely! The natural sweetness from apples and grapes makes it very kid-friendly. You can reduce the arugula or swap it for milder greens, such as spinach, if your child prefers a gentler flavor.
