A short how-to demonstration by Jessa (Inner Circle) showing how to make green juice without a juicer by using a powerful blender (Vitamix) and a nut milk bag or nylons to strain. She lists ingredients (apple, celery, carrots, ginger, spinach), describes substitutions (kale, beet greens, romaine), and demonstrates blending and straining to extract juice.
Morning. This is Jessa at the Inner Circle and I'm gonna show you how to juice without an actual juicer. So what I've done here is I've chopped up my ingredients. I have apples, I have one whole apple here, two celery sticks, three carrots. I peeled some ginger root. About an inch of ginger root. Might be a little more than that. And then I've got my spinach here. I'm going to make a green juice. Okay, so what I'm going to need is a cup of water. I'm going to put that in the bottom here.
And then I'm going to throw in all my chopped ingredients here. We'll set this guy up here.
And it's going to be really, really helpful to have a pretty powerful blender. This is Vitamix. I use this thing all the time. Probably one of my better purchases.
You can use it to make nut milks, you can use it to make pureed soups, you can use it to make smoothies. It's just a versatile, nice kitchen appliance. Okay, so we've got our celery and yes, you can use the leaf part of the celery. It's totally edible.
So I'm going to throw this and then I'm going to throw a handful of spinach in. I like lots of spinach. It's a very alkalinizing vegetable. You could use kale, you could use beet greens, you could use romaine lettuce. You could use anything, really. Iceberg lettuce, not so much. That's mostly water.
Alright, so then I'm gonna flip this bad boy on and let him blend until he's all pureed. So now I have a nice green paste like thing here. And what I'm gonna do with this is I'm going to take a n milk bag and I think I've showed you this in other videos. You can just take the feet of nylons and cut them off and use them as well. They work pretty much the same way. This nylons will run and they'll get ruined over time. This is a little more longer lasting. So I'm using a nut milk bag.
And.
I'm going to pour my green juice or green smoothie right now is really what it is into my nut milk bag.
And you can probably hear it now. Pull it out, all the juice is coming out.
And I'm going to be having this for breakfast along with poached egg. And it's going to be healthy and delicious and wonderful. It.
