If you’re looking for an easy way to add micronutrients into your diet and support your liver, detox, and overall wellness, you’ll love this recipe packed with dandelion greens, lemon, spinach, and more.

 

I love a good detox drink! This green juice is inspired by the “Dandy Liver” juice at my favorite juice bar in Santa Barbara, Juice Ranch. It’s refreshing and hydrating and provides a great clean energy boost. 

While I don’t recommend using juicing to replace meals, it is a great way to get vitamins and minerals.

Why These Green Detox Juice Ingredients Work 

  • Celery: Watery vegetable that’s low in sugar and high in vitamins A, C, and K. It may help boost hydration and reduce inflammation. 
  • Cucumber: Another vegetable that will add water to your juice, which is necessary when using greens. Cucumber juice is great for skin, eyes, immune system, and blood pressure.  
  • Dandelion Greens: Detailed below, dandelion has been used medicinally for centuries and is well known for its liver health benefits.  
  • Spinach: Another low-calorie leafy green with plenty of health benefits from immune system support to protect against toxins. 
  • Lemon: Lemon juice has well-known cleansing properties, making it a great addition to detox elixirs. 
  • Apple (Optional): adds sweetness if you prefer a sweet juice (great for beginners).

Dandelion Greens Health Benefits 

You may have spotted dandelion greens in the produce aisle and wondered what to do with them. I usually saute them with garlic, salt and pepper, and a little olive oil. They are on the bitter side when cooked, but I don’t find that they make bitter juice. 

Dandelion has been used medicinally for centuries and is often found today in teas and other herbal supplements. Most often, dandelion is used to support blood sugar, skin, liver, and heart health. 

Due to its liver-supporting properties, dandelion is a common ingredient in detox supplements. Although human studies are needed, animal studies have shown that dandelion extract may protect against liver damage and disease. 

Additionally, dandelion is very nutritious. It’s high in vitamins and minerals including vitamins A, C, and K, iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

A healthy green juice recipe to boost hydration, add vitamins and minerals, and support the liver. Made with liver-supporting Dandelion greens, celery, cucumber, and lemon, this is a detox juice to add to your morning routine.

Detox Green Juice

Ingredients

  • 2-3 stalks celery
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup chopped dandelion greens
  • 1 Persian cucumber (or 1/2 English hothouse)
  • 1/2 small lemon, peeled
  • 1/2 apple (optional for sweeteness)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all ingredients. The ingredients for detox green juice lay on a cutting board: dandelion greens, celery, cucumber, lemon, and spinach.
  2. Place the celery, spinach, dandelion greens, cucumber, lemon, and apple into the feed tube of your juicer. Using watery ingredients after greens will help push them through the machine. Green vegetables in the feed tube of a Breville juicer.
  3. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for juicing. There may be a layer of foam on the top, which is normal. You can scoop it off with a spoon or stir in. A Weck jar filled with fresh pressed green juice sits on a marble countertop under a juicer.
  4. Enjoy your juice right away for maximum nutrition. I like mine over ice.

Notes

Choose organic whenever possible when juicing, especially ingredients you won't be peeling. I like to soak my produce in water with apple cider vinegar to make sure it's very clean.

You can store your homemade detox green juice in a glass jar in the fridge for one day, but the fresher the better when it comes to juicing.

The amount of juice you will be able to extract from these ingredients will vary depending on your juicer and ingredients.
