Ingredients

1 large cucumber
1 head of celery (about 6 to 8 ribs)
1 small handful Italian parsley
1 medium apple
1 small lemon
1 inch fresh ginger

Instructions

If your juicer has two speeds, start on low. Run the cucumber through the juicer, followed by the celery and parsley nestled together to help prevent the parsley from flying around in the chute. (This is only an issue when using a centrifugal juicer, not a masticating one.)
Switch the speed to high, then juice the apple, ginger, and lemon. Sandwich the ginger between the apple and lemon, so that it won't fly around in the chute or go into the pulp basket before it hits the blade of the juicer.
Your juice pitcher will separate the juice from the foam on top as you pour it into a glass, then enjoy it right away for the most nutrition. If using a centrifugal juicer, you can store the juice for up to 24 hours in the fridge in an airtight container. If using a masticating juicer, you can store the juice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 72 hours. Either way, make sure you fill the container all the way to the top, so that no air is left inside to help slow down the oxidation process.

Notes

Nutrition information is for the whole batch, but will vary based on the size of your produce each time. This information is just an estimate, and not a guarantee.

Note: There's no need to peel the lemon or ginger for this recipe, but removing the lemon peel will potentially make the juice taste less bitter. It's up to you and how much effort you want to put into the preparation!
