A busy Saturday morning of stair-climbing left me craving a fresh, sweet, zingy green juice - badly. So instead of travelling across town to my favorite juice bar - I decided to use up a few of my NYC Greenmarket goodies and craft one at home in a matter of minutes - ah the joys of owning a Superangel juicer.
I was anxious to use up my big beautiful bag of fresh spinach - they were starting to wilt a bit, and I knew juicing the greens would make perfect use of them. Add in an extra large farm fresh apple and a few zingy items and voila! I even got to try out my super cool metal reusable straw - which I love. Here's my simple four ingredient recipe for Greenmarket Green Juice...
Greenmarket Green Juice
1 ½ tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled
1 extra extra large tart apple, green or yellow
5 cups fresh full grown spinach, slightly wilted OK
½ lemon, peeled
Juice, drink, enjoy.
My apple even had a few spots on it - perfect for juicing.
New Fave Juicing Tip: Use your slightly wilted greens for juicing - nothing wasted and quite delicious!
*Fresh Farmer's Market greens work best for this since store-bought wilted greens - usually are too aged and travelled to be of any use. Use your best judgement...

the glass is from Crate and Barrel... I saw it and had to have it. I am always buying just one of each glass - I have quite the eclectic collection!

Spinach in a juice? That's new for me and it sounds absolutely yummy!
That glass by the way, is so funky...where on earth did you pick it up from?!

Love that glass that is holding your juice! Glass Dharma is having a buy one straw get one free for Earth Day until the end of the month. Not sure what the status of stock is, though!
Anyway, I'm going to have to try your concoction. I use spinach a lot in my smoothies. Ingredients I use are bananas and spinach(always!) with berries, mango, pineapple, or oranges.
