Xanthan Gum 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 honestly, you are. Cucumber and celery form a hydrating, mineral-rich base, while fresh spinach and parsley layer in deep green goodness without overwhelming the flavor. A hit of lemon brightens everything up, and the ginger adds that familiar warming kick that makes each sip feel alive. The optional garlic is a bold move, but even a single clove adds a subtle savory depth that serious green juice fans will appreciate. Many store-bought green juices and wellness drinks sneak in thickeners or stabilizers that can be a real problem for anyone avoiding certain additives — this one is nothing but whole produce and cold water, full stop. Whether you run it through a juicer or blend and strain it, the process is completely straightforward and the result is clean, bright, and genuinely refreshing. Serve it over ice the moment it's done for the best flavor and the most vibrant color in the glass.

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.
