Need an easy way to boost your veggie intake? This sweet and simple hydrating spinach juice recipe is made with just 4 ingredients. It’s a great beginner friendly green juice!
Spinach is my go to green veggie when I am in a hurry but still craving fresh juice. Baby spinach often comes pre-washed making it the perfect no prep veggie that is ready to go.
Spinach by itself is not going to taste great though, so we are pairing it with hydrating cucumber, fresh lemon, and sweet green apple.
I love to make green juices as an easy way to up my veggie intake every week. This simple one tastes great and only takes a few minutes to prep, making it perfect for busy days.
Juicing has become a weekly part of my routine, and I drink fresh juice just about every day because I love the way that it makes me feel and I feel great about upping my veggie nutrient intake above what I would normally eat in a day.
The full ingredient amounts and instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post, but here is what you’ll need.
Spinach Juice Ingredients
- Baby Spinach: washed

How to make Spinach Juice
Step 1: Prepare all of your juicing ingredients. Peel and cut the cucumber and lemon, then core and cut the green apple. Wash your baby spinach if it does not come pre-washed.
Step 2: Run all of the ingredients through a juicer. Consume the juice immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for later.
This recipe will make around 12 oz of juice. You could easily double this and save some for the next day!
I love green juices paired with the bright flavors of lemon and green apple. It adds a refreshing light sweetness to offset the earthy taste of greens.
If you want to easily boost your veggie intake for the day, give this spinach juice a try!
My favorite time of day to drink juice is in the afternoon when I am feeling that mid day slump. I will drink a glass of fresh juice along with a mid afternoon snack to get a boost of energy and nutrients!
Juicing FAQs
You can drink this spinach juice any time of day. I like to drink mine mid afternoon for a pick me up.
I prefer to use 80/20 or 90/10 ratio of vegetables to fruits when juicing. Adding just enough sweetness to offset the vegetable taste is what I prefer to do to not spike my glucose levels.
Juicing pulp can be discarded or used as compost. You can also repurpose it for other recipes if you are feeling creative!
How to store
Fresh juice is best stored fresh, but you can also store it in the refrigerator for later. Leftover spinach juice can be stored in an airtight jar with a lid in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours. I keep 4 oz, 8 oz, and 16 oz glass jars with lids on hand for storing juice.
Tip: Fill the jar all the way up to the top before putting the lid on for best freshness.
