Kale juice should taste as good as it makes you feel. This recipe is a perfect mix of sweet, tart, spicy, and earthy flavours. Made with fresh ingredients and naturally sweetened, it’s a must-try.
Kale is one of the best greens for juicing because it’s full of nutrients and goes well with cucumber and citrus. This juice has the bright flavours of lemon and orange, plus the sweetness of the green apple.
It’s best to drink it fresh, but you can keep leftovers in the fridge for the next day. To store leftover kale juice, use a glass or jar with a tight lid. It will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
