When Christian and I were on our honeymoon, we would have this delicious green juice every morning with our breakfasts. ย Packed with vitamins and greens but tasty with punches of pineapple, orange and lime, we were seriously into this drink. ย I may have even gotten some to go and mixed it with tequila by the pool. ย It’s a vacation, right?
We’ve been adamant about recreating this delicious juice ourselves (minus the tequila), especially after asking one of the sweet waiters what all was in it! ย We’re slowly but surely getting there and I have to share the best version yet.
Y’all know I’m into using my Vitamix to juice – especially if you’ve read my DIY BluePrintCleanse post. ย I blend everything in my Vitamix and then use a nut milk bag to strain the juice, removing some (but not all) of the pulp.
- 2 cups packed spinach
- 1 cucumber
- 3 carrots
- 1 orange
- 1/3 or 1/4 a pineapple (depending on how much sweetness you like)
- 2 apples
- large handful of mint
- juice from half a lime
- juice from half a lemon
Combine all ingredients in a blender or juicer. ย Blend until smooth and strain. ย Store in an air tight container and drink within 3 days.
Are you into green juice? ย If you’re hesitant about the green juice and smoothie trend, try this drink. ย The flavor and sweetness will surprise you!
Thanks so much for reading! XO –
Love this!! I have been making it as a snack: Kale, sugar-free almond milk, banana, sugar-free maple syrup, and ice! So good! Great way to pack in vitamins!

I love adding green juice into my day (and I use my Vitamix too!). Yum!
Kathleen – How many servings do you think this is? I ordered the nut milk bag that you linked to and I am going to make this tomorrow! I just wanted to know how much it makes ๐ Thanks!
I think you’ll really enjoy the nut milk bag – I use mine all the time! I would say this recipe comfortably makes about four servings. Let me know what you think!! XO –
Kathleen – I LOVED the juice! I have even shared the recipe with some of my friends who also love it! And yes, the nut milk bag worked perfectly, but I got a little excited when pouring the juice into it ๐ Thanks again for the great recipe!
After something like a week of drinking the green drink I started to feel a radical change in my physique. Yet I had a feeling that I was getting a bit down from the stuff. Later I discovered that its an indication of detoxification. The detox got so terrible that I was pretty wiped out for something like 3 days.
