Ingredients
Method
- Rinse all fresh produce thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry; peel the mango, kiwi, banana, papaya, and carrot, and remove pits or cores from the stone fruits and apples.
- Chop all fruits and vegetables into chunks small enough to fit easily into the feed chute of your specific juicer model.
- Turn on the juicer and process all ingredients, alternating between the softer fruits (like mango and peach) and the harder ingredients (like carrot and apple) to maximize extraction.
- Stir the extracted juice vigorously in a pitcher to combine the flavors and textures evenly.
- Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve immediately over ice if desired, or enjoy straight from the fridge for a refreshing energy boost.
- Chill Ingredients First: To skip the 2-hour waiting time, refrigerate all your fruits and vegetables overnight. This ensures your Healthy Paleo Green Smoothie comes out of the juicer ice-cold and ready to drink immediately.
- Don't Waste the Pulp: Since this is a juicer recipe, you will have leftover fiber pulp.
- Don't toss it! You can mix the fruit and veggie pulp into muffin batter or use it to bulk up a meatloaf or veggie burger for a zero-waste kitchen hack.
- Add a Zesty Kick: If you find the fruit combination too sweet, add a 1-inch knob of fresh ginger or half a peeled lemon into the juicer. It adds a spicy, immune-boosting zip that cuts through the sugar.
Juicing Order Matters: For maximum yield, alternate between leafy greens and watery fruits. Feed the kale and spinach through first, then follow immediately with an apple or pear. The harder, water-rich fruit helps push the leafy greens through the mesh, ensuring you don't waste any precious juice.
