Ingredients for Kale Lemonade
This kale lemonade recipe is easy to make with just 4 ingredients. Grab a juicer and get ready to make this fresh juice recipe to enjoy as a snack or alongside a meal. You will need:
- Kale
- Spinach
- Apples
- Lemon
Be sure to give your produce a good scrub or rinse before putting through the juicer.
How to Make
This nutritious and delicious juice is so easy to make. First, wash and dry the produce. Then, add the produce into the juicer in the order listed in the recipe and that’s it! Give the juice a quick stir and serve over ice if desired. Drink this juice right away.
The leafy greens go in first so the juice from the fruit can flush it all out. When making juice, the juicier items should go in at the end. This includes citrus fruits and apples.
If you are new to juicing or are interested in starting, this juicer is the one we have been using and we love it. It’s simple to clean as well.
Can I make juice without a juicer?
Absolutely! It may not be the same texture in the end but it is absolutely doable. You will need a high powered blender to do this. Add the greens and apple (without the core into the blender) and squeeze in the lemon juice. Then, blend on high speed until blended very well.
Then, line a fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth and pour it through into a glass or bowl. If you do not strain it you will have a pulpy juice that is more the texture of a smoothie than a green juice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Making juice at home absolutely can get expensive but buying it in the store is as well. I find that shopping at farmers markets or local produce stands help to keep the cost down. Also, by making your own you can make the exact combination of fruits and vegetables you want!
In my personal opinion, I say no! I like to enjoy a juice with a meal or as a snack. Juice has lots of benefits but it lacks fiber because the juicer strips the food of it making it less filling. This is why I like to pair it with a meal that has more substance, otherwise I would still be hungry right after. Vegetable juice is a great way to add more nutrients to your meals.
