Instructions

Wash and cut all ingredients into medium sized pieces. If you don’t have a high speed blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec, cut everything a bit smaller so it will blend more easily. Add everything to your blender.
Fill the blender with water – about 4 cups worth, but only if it fits. You can reduce the amount of water to match your blender size or blend everything in two batches if needed.
Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until no large pieces remain and the mixture is as smooth as a smoothie.
Set up fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and slowly stir pour the blended green juice through the strainer.
Stir with a spatula or spoon to press liquid out of the solids into the bowl. Depending on the size of your bowl you may have to do this in a few batches.
Alternatively, you can pass the mixture through a nut milk bag, pressing the liquid out and leaving the solids behind.
When you’ve finished straining out the pulp from the mixture transfer the liquid into a container and store in the refrigerator.
