Core and chop the apple, wash the spinach, and slice the celery. Peel the ginger and cut into thin coins.
02 -
Add the apple, spinach, celery, ginger, lemon juice, coconut water, and pepper to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth.
03 -
Line a fine-mesh strainer with a double layer of cheesecloth set over a bowl. Pour the blend in slowly, letting the liquid strain through. Gather the cloth and squeeze gently to extract the remaining juice.
