Mean Green Juice Machine
Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Shake well before drinking as it will naturally separate.

Do I have to strain it?

No. Unstrained keeps the fiber and gives a thicker smoothie-style drink. Straining makes it lighter and more juice-like.

Can I skip the ginger?

Yes, but it adds a fresh kick that really lifts the flavour.

Can I use frozen fruit?

Yes, especially frozen pineapple for a colder, thicker drink.

Mean Green Juice Machine

Wife with the Knife
This is the kind of green juice that actually gets finished instead of getting lost in the fridge. It’s bright and lightly sweet from the pineapple and apple, with crisp cucumber, fresh mint, and a ginger kick that brings everything to life. Toss it in a blender (or juicer if that’s your thing) and you’ve got a cold, refreshing drink that just works.
