What is Detox Green Juice?
This nourishing, detoxifying juice is filled with nutrient-dense ingredients that are high in vitamins improve immune system health, cleanse the body from toxins, and maintain healthy skin! It’s hydrating, delicious, and full of antioxidants that do wonders for our bodies!
My homemade version is full of leafy greens, fruits, and vegetables like spinach, fresh apples, cucumber, fennel, mint, and lemon. It is light, crisp, and delicious. After drinking it you can feel your body absorbing the nutrients.
What Makes This Recipe Great
I created this recipe when I was in NEED of some nutrition.
One year, my sister threw a New Year’s Eve dinner party for a few friends. We played games, we sipped our way thru a few bottles of champagne, and we ate. Oh boy, did we eat. Steak, lobster, scallops, shrimp. Not to mention mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and bread on bread on bread. We rung in the new year right. It was amazing. And filling.
After all the eating and drinking, I needed to detox the next day. And I found that kick-starting my health with this rejuvenating detox green juice always did the trick. It had a gorgeous green color, was perfectly sweet and balanced, and I just felt better after drinking it.
So my super secret (not so secret) green detox juice was born, and I absolutely LOVE it! Even better, juicing at home is more affordable, easy to customize, and so versatile!
Many people drink green juice for weight loss, juice fasts, etc. If this is you, I recommend consulting a professional to make sure you are getting the proper nutrition for your individual needs.
If you’re looking for other healthy drinks try this Strawberry Banana Green Smoothie, this Kale Coconut Green Smoothie, or my Ultimate Pregnancy Superfoods Smoothie.
Do I Need a Juicer?
I splurged and got the Breville 800JEXL juicer and I *love* it! It makes it so easy to make juices all the time for breakfast, or a snack. If you’re thinking of getting a juicer, I highly recommend it. Get’s out all the juice from the produce, juices everything quickly, and is easy to clean.
If you don’t have a juicer, you can do this in a blender, which Kelly from Just a Taste does a great job explaining and includes an easy-to-follow video.

I ate indulgently through the entire holiday season; in fact, I just finished off the last of the Christmas goodies that I’d stored in the freezer : \ I so need to drink this juice for about a week straight. Not only is this drink a lovely color, but I also love the flavors of apple and fennel!
I love green smoothies, and this one has a beautiful combination !
Thanks! It’s one of my favorite combinations. Those all vegetable ones are tough to drink sometimes.
Oh man, we feasted on NYE, too. It was baaaad. This detox juice would be perfect for my entire week! Haha ;)
Spinach and apple is one of my favorite juices to make, especially with Granny Smith Apples! So tart and delicious!
I just for a juicer for Christmas and I have been juicing everything under the sun, and having a blast trying a ton of different fruit/veggie blends. Can’t wait to try this one….sounds delish!
What a great Christmas present! Isn’t juicing the best? Be careful when adding ginger, that stuff is pow.er.ful! Made that mistake when I was first juicing. Whoops. Hope you enjoy it!
What a beautiful green color! I’m usually intimidated by all these green smoothies, but this one looks so delicious. I’m definitely going to have to try this one.
Thanks Shannon! Isn’t the green color great? Hope you enjoy it if you try it : )
This is SO what I need right now! Jealous that you got a juicer. I have been debating it for awhile, but for now I make green smoothies in my blender. I am posting my favorite green smoothie next week, but I can’t wait to try making yours using my blender!
Thanks Rachel! I love my juicer. Was definitely a splurge, but I use it all the time. My sister did a 3 day juice cleanse from Nekter Juice Bar that was almost as much as the cost of the juicer. Helped justify it : ) Can’t wait to see your green smoothie recipe next week too!
OoOoOoh, fennel?? Very intriguing. I want to try this! Right after I finish the leftover 3 layer cake that I made today. Yup, I’m ringing in the new year right. *cough*
*cough* I ate a BLT with french fries last night *cough* What? Did I just say that? Whoops! Try and not tell anybody. Diet starts Monday, right Karen? Haha!
Fennel is so refreshing! Excellent combination!
Thanks Sarah! The fennel gives this a great, subtle licorice flavor that I love. Happy New Year friend!
Replacing the sugar running through my veins with nutrition via fennel apple juice sounds wonderful! Out with the holidays, in with health! Gorgeous juice, lady!
Thanks Julia! I love the green color. And luckily it is still naturally sweet enough to ease you off all the sugary sweets you’ve been eating over the holidays. Ha!
I could totally use this after all the unhealthy food I’ve been consuming during the holidays. I love the idea of apple, fennel and cucumber. This drink is so appealing to my eyes. Love the green color. Pinned. :) Happy New Year my friend and I look forward to reading more of your delicious posts.
Thanks Anne! You feel amazing after drinking this. Like you are a healthy little bee bursting with energy. I love the green color too. So pretty. Happy New Year to you too lady!
Yum! I totally need this. WAY too many cookies and rich food over the holidays!
Thanks Kelly! You and me both. I actually had a cookie today with lunch, whoops! Need to start eating better ASAP.
Shiver me timbers, them’s some great inotimaorfn.
Ohhhh, I love fennel but have never tried it in a smoothie. I bet it’s good combined with apples. Honestly, now I feel like having some apple fennel stuffed pork chops. Hahahahaha. :) So nice to hear you have a fantastic New Year’s Eve celebration.
Thanks Kathy! The fennel gives a great, subtle licorice flavor. It was a nice change up in juicing flavors when I did a 6 day juice cleanse in the fall. I was going to do a week, but only made it to 6 days. Ha! And now I want apple fennel stuffed pork chops too! Yum! Lucky for me, diet starts Monday, *wink*.
SalinaThank you my friend. As I write this, just two days later, th&r2e#8e17;s no snow to be seen and the sun is shining beautifully. It was quite beautiful though and I’m glad I took the time to get my camera out to play for a little while. Blessings to you.
Natalie this is so perfect right now! I think we all can use this!! ;) I love that beautiful green color!
Thanks Layla! If you were my neighbor I’d make you a nice big glass of this for breakfast. The green color is so pretty. Smells great too as you’re juicing.
Im going to be doing a juice cleanse for a week! I will have to try this detox juice :)

Then this will work great for you! I’ve done a ton of juice cleanses now that I have a juicer. The longest I lasted was 6 days. Hope yours goes well!
Oh yes, I think I’m in need of some of this juice as well. Last night was crazy!
What a gorgeous color, by the way! I think it’d make me sad to drink it haha.
Happy New Year! x
Thanks Consuelo! Juice definitely helped me today. Might have had a wee bit too much champagne last night : ) Happy New Year to you too!
I hear ya on craving nutritious foods!! I am so excited for a happy, healthy New Year!! I hope that you have a great one too! Happy 2014! Btw that green drink looks so amazing!! I want to make one too :)
Thanks! I’m excited to start eating better too, New Year always means the end of indulgent food. Phew! Don’t know how many more cookies and mashed potatoes I could eat. Happy New Year Cailee!
Preach on the eating last night! I am still so full…which I guess is a good thing since eating better starts today. This drink is gorgeous.
Thanks! I’m still full too, almost 24 hours later. Barely had to eat today. Happy New Year Leah!
This has made my day. I wish all pontisgs were this good.
