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!)

Making it count YO! 🙂 Love it 🙂
Well worth the cleaning up required. I like that it’s a big serving, too.

Thank you for sharing Alison, this looks amazing.
You’re welcome! 🙂
Is it supposed to have a fuzzy texture?
It could be that your juicer is letting too much pulp through, in which case you can strain it again. It just depends on the juicer and how much pulp it removes, any fuzziness is from too much pulp coming through.
Excellent! Even the “meat and potato guy’ loved it!
Yay! That’s awesome Leslie! 🙂
Very easy to make and clean up! No adjustments needed for us!

Great! Thanks for the rating! 🙂
What’s great with juicing is that it is packed with nutrients that the body needs. It is also easy to prepare.
Could you include measurements of amounts of each of the actual juices I like to juice each seperatly and get bags of kale. Thank you.
Tasty!
★★★★
Can u make this in a blender?
You could, but those veggies are very fibrous. With the juicer, the juice is being extracted from the fibrous vegetables whereas in the blender it’s all in there, so it’s just going to be very different. Maybe still good, but very different.
I am not a big fan of the green juices. However, if I see a recipe that catches my eye I will try it. This is a great tasting juice. Very fresh tasting. I’m glad I gave it a try.
★★★★★
Tasty. The apple and carrot makes it sweet enough.
I use more celery and less carrot and apple to decrease the sugar content
I love how the end result gives such a rich green. Your recipe is simple yet so healthy. I’ve done a similar recipe but added a bit of ginger to it too.

Ginger is a great addition! Thank so much for the great review. 🙂
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! 🙂
