Health in a glass my friends, that’s what this apple, carrot celery and kale juice represents.
Now, I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with fresh juices.
The love part comes in when drinking the juice. Ah – now that’s good stuff.
The hate part comes in when I have to clean the juicer.
Geez, can it be any harder? Even the ‘easy-to-clean’ juicers still require quite a bit of work, separating all the parts and then cleaning them all with the little toothbrush cleaner thingie. It’s not my favorite thing to do in the world.
But drinking the juice? Oh – love love love.
So because of this love/hate thing, I prefer to make a nice big juice.
If I’m going to have to do all that work for it, I better make it worthwhile.
So this juice is a big juice. It makes about a liter of juice. I’m going to say it serves 2 though, because why not drink a great big juice.
You probably don’t juice everyday (I definitely don’t), so when I do I want to make it count yo!
Get in all that good stuff, all those vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients in a nice BIG glass of green juice.
What you’ll like about this green juice is that it doesn’t taste like kale. Or you know, lawn clippings.
The carrot and apple flavors are strong enough to overpower that lawn clippings thing and the celery adds a delicious saltiness.
It’s actually so good it’s worth dusting off your juicer (and cleaning it afterwards) to drink this juice.
And really, it feels so good, you actually FEEL as if your cells are jumping up and doing a happy jive as this juice starts hitting your system.
So let us know what you think of this gorgeous kale juice by leaving a comment.
Rate it and let us know how you liked it if you made it.
If you take a pic and tag it #lovingitvegan on instagram we’d be thrilled too. And of course – share it far and wide to whoever you think needs a green juice infusion (um…probably everyone really!)

I don’t have a juicer. Would you recommend doing this in a blender? Do you think it would change the taste much?
You could blend it and strain it.
Can i use red apples? Or need to be specific apples?
You can use red apples if that’s what you have on hand, but we preferred the tart flavor of the green apples.
I love this juice but I add lemon too, I don’t know if that is a good combination but I love how it taste and yes, I make it every day.
I also juce it with a whole lemon (no skin). Lemon makes a huge difference.
Tried this recipe and loved it! So yummy, fresh! Thank you! <3
So glad you enjoyed it!
Ohhh! Yum:). Turned out so good! This is going to be a go to juce recipe!
I will be trying this next week! Looks delicious. May I know if it can be diluted with water? Thank you.
Sure, you can dilute with water if you prefer. 🙂
I love this recipe, im going to do a feature on my website now! Thanks Todd
I love this juice! This recipe is a life saver for me (almost literally). I have to get nutrition first thing in the morning and I hate smoothies. One question – Does this freeze well?
Hi Tara! So glad you like the recipe! Thanks for the wonderful rating. I’m not sure about freezing it, I’ve only had this straight away so I haven’t tried freezing it.
No problem. We are going to test out freezing the juice. I did forget to ask you also if you have a recipe for using the leftover vegetable mash that you get from juicing? Or are there basically no nutrients left after the juicing process? Thanks in advance!
Hi Tara! You can definitely use the pulp in many creative ways, I usually throw it out, but that’s just because I’m being lazy, here are some ideas for how to use it from Shape.
Love this juice. Perfect taste!!
Thanks Robyn! 🙂
Would this be ok for diabetes?
Hi Robert, we are not in any way qualified to advise on that. The best thing would be to speak to a dietitian. All the best! 🙂
