Got a juicer? This five-ingredient green juice is an easy way to get more vegetables into your week.

Ingredients

  • Celery: vitamins A, C and K plus potassium. It's about 95% water.
  • Apple: vitamin C and antioxidants, plus natural sweetness.
  • Cucumber: about 96% water, great for hydration.
  • Kale: rich in vitamins A, C and K, calcium and antioxidants. One of the most nutrient-dense greens.
  • Parsley: vitamins A, C and K.

How to make it

  1. Wash and chop all the ingredients.
  2. Juice one ingredient at a time, keeping an eye on how much juice each one makes. Cucumber and celery produce the most.
  3. Combine, store in the fridge, and shake well before drinking.

How often

Two or three times a week is a great rhythm. Juicing removes most of the fiber, so keep eating whole fruits and vegetables too. Small, consistent choices about what goes into your body add up over time.

Check with your doctor if…

you take blood thinners (kale and parsley are high in vitamin K), have kidney issues, or manage your blood sugar.

Take it to the court

Have a glass on a morning you play. Pair it with water before and during your session, since hydration matters more than any single drink.
