Carrageenan Free Detox Green Juice
This vibrant green juice is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're doing something genuinely good for yourself — and you are. Cucumber and celery form a hydrating, mineral-rich base, while fresh spinach and parsley layer in deep green goodness without overpowering the flavor. A hit of lemon brightens everything up, and the fresh ginger adds a warm, zippy kick that makes each sip feel alive. The optional garlic is a bold move, but even a single clove adds an earthy depth that serious green juice fans will appreciate. Store-bought green juices and cold-pressed blends are notorious for containing thickeners and stabilizers — carrageenan being one of the most common culprits hiding in otherwise "clean" drinks. This recipe sidesteps all of that entirely because every single ingredient is whole, fresh produce and cold water. Whether you run it through a juicer or blend and strain it, you know exactly what's going into your glass. Serve it immediately over ice for the brightest flavor and the most vibrant color — this one doesn't wait around.

If using a juicer: feed the cucumber, celery, spinach, parsley, lemon, ginger, and garlic (if using) through the juicer in alternating batches, starting and ending with the cucumber to help push the leafy greens through. Collect the juice in a measuring cup or pitcher.
