Green Apple Juice is a crisp, tart, and naturally refreshing drink that’s packed with flavor and just the right amount of zing. I love how the tanginess of green apples wakes up my taste buds and feels so clean and hydrating. Whether I’m sipping it first thing in the morning or using it as a light afternoon refresher, this juice always hits the spot.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this juice because it’s bright, bold, and super simple. Green apples have a natural tartness that makes the juice feel extra fresh, and when I blend them with a bit of lemon or cucumber, the flavor gets even more vibrant. It’s perfect for when I want something fruity that’s not overly sweet, and it takes just minutes to make. Green Apple Juice

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Green apples (Granny Smith works best for that crisp tart flavor)
Lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Water (if blending instead of juicing)
Ice (for serving, optional)
Optional: a small piece of cucumber, mint leaves, or ginger for added freshness

Directions

If using a juicer:

I wash and core the green apples, then cut them into pieces that fit into the juicer.
I juice them along with any extras like cucumber or ginger.
I stir in lemon juice if I’m using it and pour over ice to serve.

If using a blender:

I chop the apples and blend them with a splash of water until smooth.
I strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the pulp.
I stir in lemon juice and chill before serving.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 2 servings. It takes around 10 minutes to prep and juice or blend everything.

Variations

Sometimes I add a handful of spinach or kale for a green boost, or blend in cucumber for extra hydration. I’ve also added ginger for a spicy kick or mint for a cool finish. If I want it sweeter, I mix in a splash of pineapple or pear juice.

Storage/Reheating

I store the juice in a sealed glass jar or bottle in the fridge for up to 2 days. I always shake it before drinking since fresh juice can separate. I don’t reheat this—it’s best enjoyed chilled or over ice. Green Apple Juice

FAQs

Can I use red apples instead?

Yes, but the flavor will be much sweeter and less tart. I use green apples specifically for their bright, tangy taste.

Do I need to peel the apples?

Nope, I keep the peel on for extra nutrients and fiber—especially if I’m using a juicer or straining the juice after blending.

Can I make it without a juicer?

Yes, I just use a blender and strain the juice after blending. It takes an extra step but still works perfectly.

Is this juice good for detox?

It’s naturally hydrating and full of antioxidants, especially with lemon or cucumber added. I drink it when I want something light and clean.

Can I make a big batch?

Yes, but I try to drink it within 2 days for the freshest flavor. I store it in the fridge in a tightly sealed jar.

Conclusion

Green Apple Juice is a tart, refreshing drink that brings bold flavor and natural goodness to my glass in just minutes. It’s a great way to enjoy fresh fruit, and it’s endlessly customizable with simple, wholesome add-ins. Whether I’m keeping it classic or adding a twist, this juice always leaves me feeling refreshed.
