This green juice recipe is an easy way to give your skin the glow you are after. No preservatives, only 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to make!
So I was again doing some juicing and this is what I made: A very easy juice for glowing skin! Seriously, guys, this homemade green juice recipe is not only for glowing skin but also helps us fight off the viruses that are around us, especially in winter!
By the way, if for some reason you feel apprehensive about drinking kale and celery I suggest you increase the amount of apples and reduce the amount of celery I used. This way you will see whether you liked it or not and then you can slowly increase the vegetables.
If you are still not sure about making this green juice, you might wanna check out this Vitamin Boosting Juice or this Immune Booster Juice. Now if you are looking for a detox drink recipe, have a look at my Body Cleansing Lemon Ginger Water recipe!
BUT! If you want a radiant and healthy skin, this healthy green juice recipe with give you what you are after! So let’s talk about this fresh juice a bit more!
Good to know when making this apple, celery and kale juice:
As you might have already guessed, this healthy green juice recipe contains 3 ingredients:
Apples + Celery + Kale Leaves
They help your skin stay healthy, hydrated and give it the healthy glow you are after! Vitamin C helps keep your skin firm + gives it an inner radiance. Vitamin K helps reduce stress level which has a positive effect on your skin (stress can cause bad skin, so the less stress, the better skin), lots of water helps the body stay hydrated. Hydrated body = hydrated skin = no dryness, less wrinkles, and flaking = healthy looking skin!
Storage:
This juice is best enjoyed right away but if you want to drink it later, store in the fridge at all times! It should last for up to 48 hours from juicing (shake the bottle/jar just before drinking) but I recommend drinking it within 24 hours.
Good to remember:
The juice that is not stored in the fridge goes off pretty fast. The warmer the room the faster it goes off. In summer it can go off within an hour, if not in the fridge!
By juicing you lose fiber that each fruit and vegetable contains but what I do is this: I simply take some of the pulp (that usually goes to bin) and mix it back into the juice! You don’t have to do it though.
Health benefits of green juice:
Green juice is a great way to get into our body greens that we wouldn’t normally eat much. What I like about juicing is that even when you use vegetables that you don’t like much, adding your favorite fruits like apples to the mix will turn your juice into a delicious drink! You will barely taste the vegetables! And most importantly it can’t get any fresher and healthier than this!
The health benefits will depend on the ratio of your ingredients but most green juices are packed with Vitamins, are high in antioxidants and rich in chlorophyll which helps your body detoxify.
Why drink homemade fruit and veggie juices?
- They are packed with nutrients!
- Your body is able to absorb the nutrients right away thanks to its liquid form. This means that our digestive system has time to rest (no need to break down any solid foods)!
- You are more likely to drink a mix of veggies/fruits that you wouldn’t eat raw = more good stuff for your body!
- Juicing at home is a great way to control what you get in your body (no preservatives, no added artificial flavors or sugars)!
So guys, I highly recommend this glowing skin green juice. It is tasty, healthy, fresh, nutritious and your skin will thank you for drinking it! Actually, your whole body will!

niken says

Julia | Happy Foods Tube says
I haven’t tried it, Niken. I guess, you can, if you like and are used to drinking apple cider vinegar.
Marie K. Powell says

I added a bit of lemon juice- I think it makes the flavor even better! Great recipe!
Julia | Happy Foods Tube says
Great to hear that, Lindsey! You are absolutely right! Lemon juice will definitely make the juice taste even better!

I have made it slightly different by adding some extra ingredients and the ones you have added. Really awesome drink… Thanks, Julia for your sharing.
Julia | Happy Foods Tube says
The more ingredients you add the higher the vitamin boost so it’s great that you experimented and added more to this juice. Thanks for commenting and rating.

I love this recipe, it doesn’t taste bitter and it works as a booster in the early morning.

It’s one of our favorite juices so I am glad that you enjoyed it as well. Thanks for finding time to leave a comment and rating!
Tara says
I don’t have a juicer.. can I use a blender?
Julia | Happy Foods Tube says
Tara, I guess if you have a powerful blender, then you probably can. However, the final result will more likely be completely different. I am guessing it will be thicker – more like a smoothie. You probably should add some liquid – maybe an apple juice or water.
Emma says
How did you calculate the sugar content? I would imagine just the four large apples would have about 80g all together
Julia | Happy Foods Tube says
Yes, you are right, Emma. 4 large apples have about 80 g of sugar. Kale and celery are very low in sugar (almost none). Now the nutritional values are just a guidance but after double-checking them, I don’t see anything wrong with them. If you want to reduce that number or are worried that it is too high, choosing green apples is a great way to reduce the amount of sugar in your juice a bit.
Courtney Morris says
Hey! I can’t wait to try this juice, I’m forever chasing the glow!! Question for you, what is considered to be a serving size? Like how many cups do you recommend per day for results? I ask because the recipe makes 3 cups. Should I be drinking all 24 oz?
Julia | Happy Foods Tube says
Hi Courtney. I consider 1 cup a serving size. I usually drink about 1 – 1.5 cup of this juice (so I either have it for 2 days or my partner drinks the rest). For me it’s easier to juice in larger quantities so I have some leftover juice for the following day to enjoy). If you don’t want to make so much, half the recipe and you should get about 1.5 cup. Hope this helps.
Linda says
Just used my juicer for the first time and made this… omg, it is delicious!! I already can’t wait to have it again tomorrow. Thanks for sharing such an amazing recipe.
Julia | Happy Foods Tube says
I am glad you like this juice and thanks so much for your feedback! Hope you try some other ones as well :)

I love it!! Thanks for sharing!
Octavia Mack says
Thank you, I wanted to asked do matter what type of apple but I will do granny smith because they are green.
Julia | Happy Foods Tube says
Hi Octavia. Use any type of apples you like or have on hand. Apples are added to balance the flavors, so if you feel the juice is perhaps too sour or the taste of other ingredients is too strong for you, feel free to add more apples.
