Juice starts degrading the moment it's made. This is a make-and-drink recipe, not a make-ahead one.
If you don't own a juicer, blend and strain through a nut-milk bag — it works, it's just messier.
Morning Microgreen Juice Shot
Serves 2 · 5 minutes · Juices & drinks
Ingredients
- 2 oz — broccoli microgreens
- 1 oz — radish microgreens
- 2 — green apples, quartered
- 1 — lemon, peeled
- 1 in — fresh ginger
- 1 — cucumber
- pinch of cayenne (optional)
Instructions
- Wash everything
Rinse the greens and produce in cold water. Don't bother drying — it's going into a juicer.
- Alternate as you feed
Feed the greens between the harder items. Apple and cucumber push the leaves through instead of letting them pack.
- Juice the aromatics last
Ginger and lemon at the end so their oils rinse the machine as they pass.
- Stir and drink
Stir, add cayenne if using, pour into two small glasses. Drink within the hour.
What the microgreens are doing here.
Fully uncooked
No heat at any stage, so the heat-sensitive compounds survive intact.
Mild plus sharp
Broccoli gives volume, radish gives the kick that makes it taste like something.
Volume in a glass
Three ounces of greens is far more than most people eat in a sitting.
Variations and pairings
Sweeter
Add a pear or swap one apple for pineapple.
Sharper
Double the radish microgreens and add half a jalapeño.
No juicer
Blend with ½ cup water and strain through a nut-milk bag.
Wellness shot
Halve the apple and cucumber for a smaller, more intense 2 oz shot.
- First thing in the morning
- Pre-workout
