kcalA few common questions we get: Can you help me with meal planning? Can you help me eat more vegetables without getting bored? Can you help me get greens into the mouths of my picky eaters? Our response always starts with the same thing: Green juice. The original Life is NOYOKE Green Juice blend where no juicer is needed. Get into the habit of making it at least every other day. Aside from our queso, this green juice formula has been the most life-changing part of our routine. And my dad’s routine. And our picky-eating son with special needs’ routine. It’s absolutely delicious and invigorating; not too sweet, yet kids love it. Credit to 3rd generation CEO of Vitamix, John Barnard who taught me about green juice available being his responsibility, “I’m in charge of making green juice. I make it every day and make sure there’s always some available for someone who needs a snack. We’ll provide an exact recipe below. It’s important to get it right the first few times. But we do not measure anymore. We follow the formula. The green juice formula follows these three steps: Fruit (little bit). Greens (a lot). Seeds (little bit). Then, there are three keys to success: Water / ice, lemon, ginger. Finally, we like to finish the green juice with a little kick. Any hot pepper works, but we like jalapeno.

Ingredients
4 cups water
1 apple, cored
1 banana, peeled
1 orange, peeled

3 cups ice
1 small piece hot pepper (optional)
Directions
- In a 64 oz blender container, add water.
- Add the prepared fruits (orange, apple, and banana).
- Add the lemon and ginger (no need to peel either).

Notes
- This works best in a 64-ounce container. For smaller blenders, reduce all ingredients proportionally.
- The order of ingredients matters: always layer liquid first, then fruits, greens, and ice on top.
- Feel free to customize the ingredients to your taste while maintaining the basic formula.
- Storage
Store extra juice in mason jars in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
If juice separates during storage, simply shake to recombine.

New A3500 Vitamix 2 days ago – green juice this morning. Great recipe, very drinkable and I followed the guidance on 400-500ml of water instead of 4 cups.
I also bumped up the ginger and jalapeño. Be interested to see if I can maintain it, but first impressions definitely 👌🏼
I used to pay a lot for bottled green juices but not since I found your recipe. I keep a pitcher of this green juice in my fridge. It’s easy to make and is always good even when I add different fruits. It’s really good with pineapple. I love your recipes! Thank you.
I needed a reset. Thank you. Somehow, I had gotten out of practice with making green juice for the morning. This green juice recipe worked wonderfully. I used two overripe bananas, two peeled clementines, had no apple, and 2 handfuls of kale, stems intact. Also added hemp hearts, along with the flaxseed and chia seeds. Didn’t have a jalapeno or hot pepper, but will use next time. I also added cinnamon, turmeric powder and a packet of Stevia. 4 c water, almost 2 c ice worked for me in my 64 oz pitcher.
Really appreciate seeing this post today.
I am new to Vitamix Wellness and tried the green smoothie recipe for the first time today. I read through the comments and used 400 mL of water instead of 4 cups plus one whole seeded jalapeño… Otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I am amazed! I will be drinking this every day and looking forward to exploring more recipes.
This is really good. I am glad I watched the video and read the comments first. In the video, you said about 400 mL of water instead of the 4 cups. Ryan mentioned above that the 4 cups didn’t leave a lot of room for other things. I ended up using about 550 mL and next time I will try with the 400 mL to see if the flavors are more apparent. I think I will add more jalapeno and ginger as I was a little gun shy on those two. I will definitely be making it again!
Another new Vitamixer here! I just made the Green Juice and I can see it becoming a daily habit for me. I’ve always struggled to use up all of the kale and other greens we get in our summer CSA boxes, but I’m not at all worried this year! I made the recipe mostly as-written. I skipped the jalapeño, but I did add in about 1/2 of a medium zucchini along with my spinach and kale (need to use it up). I also added about a tablespoon of honey for a little extra sweetness, though I don’t intend to do that every time. I knew my banana was less than fully ripe, and that I had a tart apple variety. I think if I used a more sweet apple and banana I wouldn’t want to add anything else. I really struggle to get in as many veggies as I want to be eating, so this is going to be a real game-changer for my health.
Bought my Vitamix after watching some of your encouraging videos. Really helped me decide which one. My first green juice recipe I tried was this one. Soooo delicious!!! Can’t wait to try more recipes. Thank you!
I wish I could find some other recipes like this that I love as much but use some other veggies too. Want to use up this cucumber, but struggling to find a good recipe.
This is a great green juice recipe, and for my partner who is allergic to apples I just substitute with frozen mango. It is delicious every time, even when I add a bit too much kale. Still so refreshing, spicy, and tasty. A great base recipe to play around with!
I really wanted to love this, but it fell flat. In general, I love green juices and smoothies, but this was lackluster. I have made it exactly per the recipe, and I have made it subbing some of the recommendations in and out. But it was really bland.
I guess it serves its purpose as a healthy base, but I encourage you all, if you do not like it, to try playing with the recipe until you get more flavor.
Hello all,
I’m replying to myself here. I haven’t given up on this recipe yet… I have made it off and on over the months and made it again today, per the recipe, except I subbed lemon juice (since I didn’t have fresh lemons), frozen spinach, and a whole seeded jalapeño. It turned out great with plenty of flavor!
My experience is that even following the recipe exactly produces different results each time since plant-based foods are natural things and vary with season, age, production region, etc.
Keep at it and make it your own!
This is now my go-to green juice recipe. I use frozen fruit to turn it into a smoothie – makes it even more refreshing! Thank you for opening my eyes to Vitamix and drinking my greens every day. Your family is SO appreciated! (From a Twin Cities Neighbor)
This is now a daily necessity for me. I’ve enjoyed adding mangos, pears, kiwi depend to on what’s ripe at the time. I feel a little jolt of energy similar but better than my cup of coffee. Huge fan. Thanks for sharing!
I’m torn about this recipe. I just made this and honestly I am less than thrilled. 4 cups of water barely left enough room in the container to add the rest without going above the maximum line. It also has zero flavor. Won’t make again.
Love this recipe! I omitted the lemon and used 1/2 tsp powdered ginger and less ice since i don’t like to drink really cold beverages. It was delicious. I’m not sure why i had SO much foam though. What do you think?
Try adding a little bit more seeds to the recipe, and blending on speed 1 for 30 seconds at the end. Should be smooth!
Hemp a possibility instead of Chia or Flax?
Absolutely, yep! 🙂
Any nutritional information? Its delish by the way!
Hi. I upgraded from my Ninja BL450 to the Vitamix E310, which I used for the first time yesterday. I followed this Green Juice recipe, with a few modifications, but I have a question about the ginger and lemon. I used only thumbnail/garnish sized pieces as you recommend, but when I drank my smoothie I could still taste pieces of both ginger and lemon – they didn’t seem to be fully pulverized (blended)? I expect to taste pieces of ginger and lemon from my Ninja, but I was surprised that the Vitamix didn’t completely blend them. I will say that I probably ran the Vitamix for only 60 seconds total and at power level 10 for 30 of those seconds. Could that be the reason? Thank you for your help.
Hi AT. Yeah, you’ll want to run on Variable Speed 10 for 90 seconds at least. Don’t wait too long to ramp up to the highest speed it goes.
Thank you so much for a fast reply, Lenny. I guess I’m just not used to using a Vitamix and this variable level concept. So I was not sure if running the machine at level 10 for 90 seconds was a good thing! I’ll have to discard my Ninja habits completely and learn how to use the Vitamix. I am planning on trying your fancy tomato soup recipe next – that’ll be a completely new thing for me.
This a text we got from Callista who just got her A3500 and immediately made green juice:
“I just got the Vitamix and made the Green Juice recipe. What was I thinking?? I should have got one a long time ago. I feel amazing! 🙂 Thank you, Lenny! Thank you, Shalva (I’m following you on Instagram!).
How many ounces from the batch would you say is a serving?
Hi Donna,
So glad you love the green juice as much as us. Just like you, always save one large jar for later.
Yea, Shalva’s Thanksgiving recipes are fab. Don’t miss the mushroom gravy; it’s the best.
Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂
Lenny and Shalva
Hi Lenny & Shalva; Wanted to thank you for re-posting your Everyday Green Juice. I really needed a kick in the rear to re-set my weight loss and wanted something that tasted cleaner & lighter than the typical smoothie. I absolutely love this juice. It came out perfectly the 1st time and, being single, I put away half the pitcher in the fridge for the next day and it was still great. About a month ago I started trying some new tofu recipes using ginger which I’ve never really used a lot before, and was immediately hooked on ginger (who knew??), so the ginger kick in this juice is wonderful. I really do feel like as soon as I drink this juice, my body is sort of ‘soaking it in’! Thanks again, have a lovely Thanksgiving (Shalva, I’m trying many of your Thanksgiving recipes even if they are just for me) and hope we see your beautiful baby soon.
