Simple Preparation Guide
- Produce Preparation (10 minutes):
- Give all produce a good scrub. Cut off celery ends and toss the leaves. Take out apple cores but keep the skin on. Pull apart and wash lettuce leaves. Dry everything with a towel.
- Juicing Process (15 minutes):
- Feed celery in first to get the most juice. Next, drop in apple chunks. Finish with romaine lettuce. Catch juice in a clean bowl. Run through strainer if you want.
- Adding Spirulina (5 minutes):
- Be exact with your powder amount. Mix it first with just a splash of juice. Slowly combine with the rest of your juice. Keep stirring until you can't see any powder.
- Serving and Storage (5 minutes):
- Serve with ice cubes if you want. Put leftover juice in glass bottles. Close them tight. Get them in the fridge right away.
When I first whipped up this juice, I figured out that adding just a tiny bit of lemon juice keeps the color bright and makes it stay fresh longer.
Last Thoughts: This Blue Superfood Juice isn't just something to drink - it's a daily treat that feeds your whole self. The stunning color shows how nature gives us everything we need to stay healthy, and the fresh taste makes getting all those benefits totally enjoyable.
