Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why use tart green apples in this recipe?
The tartness of green apples balances the flavors while adding just a touch of natural sweetness.
→ Do I need to strain the juice?
It's totally up to you! If you like it smooth, strain it. Prefer a more fiber-rich drink? Skip the straining.
→ How much spirulina should I add?
Start small with about 1 teaspoon, then adjust up to 2 teaspoons if you'd like a deeper, richer blue.
→ Can I switch the lettuce to another type?
Of course! Romaine, butter lettuce, or even iceberg will all work—you can pick your favorite.
→ Is it necessary to take out the apple seeds?
Not necessarily, but you can if it makes you feel better. The small amount won’t affect the juice.

Ingredients

→ Superfood Extras

01 1 to 2 teaspoons of blue spirulina powder (adjust for deeper or lighter color)

→ Farm-Fresh Produce

02 3 green apples (Granny Smith or any other tart variety)
03 6 to 8 sticks of celery (leaves are optional)
04 2 small heads of baby romaine or 1 full head of standard romaine lettuce

Instructions

Step 01

Rinse all the fruits and vegetables thoroughly under water. For smaller juicer openings, cut them into pieces; otherwise, leave them whole

Step 02

Run all the produce through your juicer. You can strain the juice if you want, then collect everything in a big pitcher

Step 03

Whisk in the spirulina powder or use a milk frother until it's all blended smoothly

Step 04

Serve it over ice and drink it right away for the best taste

Notes

  1. If you don’t have romaine, use any kind of lettuce you like
  2. Don’t worry about the amount of apple seeds here—it’s safe like this, but you can take them out if you’d rather
  3. Celery leaves are fine to juice, but they can give the drink a darker hue
  4. The more spirulina you add, the bluer your juice will be

Tools You'll Need

  • A juicer that works well with colder produce
  • A large pitcher for the juice
  • A whisk or a milk frother
  • A strainer, but only if you choose to use it
