Green Apple Veggie Juice [Dairy Free & Gluten Free]
Doesn’t look like much here but some green juice right? Wrong! Well not totally wrong, it is green. 😉
In this glass contains 5 different green fruit and veggies that make this green juice some powerful stuff! Filled with vitamins and nutrients and tastes like a green apple, you’d never know it has good for you veggies in it.
Drink this in the morning and you will be setting yourself up for a fabulous day of energy and a clean feeling inside, like you’re cleaning out all the junk and starting fresh with this glass of goodness. Your body will thank you. 🙂
Whether you’re “into” green smoothies or not, this is super healthy and should be given at least a chance in your life for the mere fact that you can say you tried it! I bet though you actually WILL like it and you will be quite surprised at how good it really is!
I can’t really call it a smoothie as there is no dairy like yogurt or milk to make it creamy, so hence the juice name. BUT I can guarantee you this tastes MUCH better than V-8 vegetable juice from a can!

Even though I like them, Grapes, cucumbers and sometimes green apples cause me serious stomach pains when I eat them in their natural state. In a smoothie are they less offensive? I know I would like it but don’t want to suffer.
Well I can’t say you won’t still have issues or not but a smoothie changes their state and makes it more digestible so it may not effect you as eating them whole.
Hi! First-timer on your site & I am loving it! Question regarding your smoothies: Is it OK to add in whey protein, the unflavored kind? not wanting to take away from any of the nutritional value of the veggies. thanks!
Yes I think that would be just fine.
I really dislike V-8 so this would be a great way for me to get in those extra veggies and feel great about it 🙂
Sounds great! Any way you can add a pin button to your blog? Been pinning so many of your recipes!!!
I do have a pin button. Just hover over the top of the picture you want to pin, you should see it pop up.
Hmmmm….nothing happens when I do that. Maybe can’t be done on an iPad? Will have to try on computer with a mouse. Maybe I just can’t this way.
Oh sorry! It’s on the top left corner. Maybe it doesn’t work on an ipad. 🙁
you dont find the celery overpowering? My mom has a juicer and I find that you truly cant taste spinach, and lemon and cucumber are so refreshing but ever a TINY bit of celery overwhelmed every previous combo (even juices with a lot of fruit)
Not with just one stalk, I don’t notice it even in there. Maybe because the grapes and apple are quite sweet.
Thanks! good to hear.
Do you peel the apple?
Nope, you could but I didn’t.
Green juices are one of my favorites! I’m so surprised at the addition of the green grapes. I’ve ever thought to add them in. I’ll have to try it on my next go around.
Thanks! They make it nice and sweet.
love it! cucumber and lemon, sounds SO refreshing!
thanks for the love!
