How to Assemble Morning Green Juice

Creating your own Morning Green Juice is a fun and refreshing experience that only takes a few moments. Follow these simple steps to bring your juice to life! The bonus is that it’s as delicious as it is healthy.

1. Start by preparing your ingredients. Rinse the celery and chop it into smaller pieces to ease the juicing process. You want to ensure that it fits well into your juicer or blender.

4. Now, take the ginger and peel it if necessary. You’ll want to grate it finely for optimal flavor infusion.
