Spinach Celery Apple Lemon Green Juice Recipe. If your mornings feel a bit sluggish and coffee is starting to taste like a habit more than help, this fresh green juice is my easy upgrade. I make it when I want clean energy, a calm gut, and a brighter mood. If you have ever wondered whether you should juice this or toss it in a blender, I wrote a quick guide comparing both methods that you can check out here: juicing vs blending. Either way, this is a simple, zippy mix that wakes up your senses without loads of sugar. Let’s dive in together and make something crisp, clean, and seriously sip worthy. 
Health Benefits
This juice hits a sweet spot of lightness and substance. Celery brings hydration and natural electrolytes. Spinach packs vitamin K, folate, and a gentle boost of iron. Green apple adds balanced sweetness and soluble fiber in the pulp. Lemon lifts everything with vitamin C and a bright aroma that makes the first sip feel extra fresh.
Quick story. I started making this during a busy month when my lunches kept getting delayed. One glass kept me steady and clear headed until I could sit down for a real meal. It was like turning the volume down on stress and turning up the focus. That is why I call this my reset juice.
Why this combo works
Spinach helps with nutrient density, especially vitamin K for bone health. Celery’s potassium supports fluid balance and can help you feel less puffy. Lemon’s vitamin C helps your body absorb plant based iron from the spinach. The apple makes it enjoyable without pushing your blood sugar to the moon, especially when you sip slowly.

Make this Zesty Spinach Celery Apple Lemon Green Juice Recipe You’ll Love when you want real nutrition without heaviness. It is a happy middle ground that tastes bright and leaves you feeling refreshed.
Nutritional Value
You are getting a nice set of micronutrients in one glass. Here is the simple picture. Spinach adds vitamin K and folate. Celery brings hydration and potassium. Apple adds a little vitamin C and polyphenols. Lemon boosts vitamin C and helps the flavor sing. The juice is naturally low in fat and protein, so think of it as a vitamin mineral lift, not a full meal.
Curious how this compares to green smoothies? A smoothie keeps the fiber, so it fills you up longer. Juice delivers a fast, light supply of micronutrients with a clean finish. If you want a thicker option for another day, try this tasty blend here: blueberry spinach smoothie. It is a favorite on my busy mornings when I need staying power.
For a quick snapshot of the typical nutrition per serving, see the table below. It is an estimate, since produce sizes vary. Still, it gives you a useful baseline.
Note on vitamin K. If you take a blood thinner, speak with your healthcare provider before adding lots of leafy greens to your routine. Food should support your goals, not complicate them.
Yield and Flavor
What it tastes like
This juice tastes crisp, lightly sweet, and citrus bright. The celery makes it feel refreshing. The apple softens any bitterness from the greens. The lemon keeps everything lively. No lingering grassy aftertaste, just a clean finish. If you like spa water vibes, this will be right up your alley.
How much it makes
From a small bunch of spinach, 3 celery sticks, 1 medium green apple, and half a lemon, you will get about 10 to 14 ounces depending on your juicer and the size of your produce. If your apple is large or your celery is extra juicy, you may get closer to a full pint.
I love to sip this cold with ice on warm afternoons. If you are in a fruity mood, make a little tasting flight alongside this juicy refresher: pineapple cucumber juice. It is such a breezy pairing for weekend brunches at home.

Pro Tips
- Use cold produce. Chilled greens and apples make the juice taste fresher without adding ice.
- Roll the lemon on the countertop before cutting. You will get more juice from it.
- If your juice tastes too grassy, add another squeeze of lemon or a few fresh mint leaves. A tiny pinch of salt also balances flavor.
- Juicing apples with the peel adds more aroma. Just wash them well.
- If you prefer a little more sweetness, half a pear plays nicely with the lemon.
- Make it your own. This guide shows fun ways to personalize a juice for your goals: customize your detox juice.
- Drink within 24 hours for the brightest taste. Store in a sealed jar in the fridge.
- Stir before sipping. Natural separation is normal.
Bonus idea for days when you want a tangy twist. Whisk in a tiny splash of apple cider vinegar right before serving. If that flavor speaks to you, here is another simple drink I enjoy: apple cider vinegar drink. It is zingy in a good way.
Ingredients
- 2 cups baby spinach, packed
- 3 celery stalks, leafy tops included if you have them
- 1 medium green apple, cored
- 1/2 lemon, peeled if your juicer needs it
- Optional: a few mint leaves or a small knob of fresh ginger
- Optional: a few ice cubes for serving
That is it. Fresh, simple, and ready in minutes. If I am making a larger batch for two people, I double everything and split it into chilled glasses.
Common Questions
Can I make this in a blender? Yes. Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup cold water, blend until smooth, and strain through a fine sieve or nut milk bag. You can also skip straining and keep the fiber for a smoothie vibe.
Do I need to peel the lemon? If your juicer can handle citrus peel, keep it on for a more aromatic, slightly bitter edge. If not, peel it. I usually peel to keep the flavor bright and clean.
What if I do not love celery? Use cucumber instead. It will be even more hydrating and super mild. The apple and lemon still carry the flavor.
How long does it last? Best within 24 hours in the fridge, sealed tightly. Give it a quick stir before drinking.
Can I add protein? For a fuller snack, enjoy a hard boiled egg, a piece of yogurt toast, or a handful of nuts on the side. I keep the juice itself light.
