This refreshing detox cleanse juice is one of my favorite go-to drinks when I want to feel recharged, lighter, and more energized. With just a few fresh, simple ingredients, I can whip up a vibrant green juice that’s naturally hydrating, full of nutrients, and gentle on the digestive system.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it's quick to make and packed with goodness. It’s naturally sweet from the apple, zesty from the lemon, and perfectly refreshing thanks to cucumber and celery. I don’t need any fancy ingredients—everything is fresh, real, and easy to find. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to kick-start the day or reset after a heavy meal.

Ingredients

(Here's a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

½ cucumber
1 cup celery (about 2–3 stalks)
1 apple (I like using red apples for extra sweetness)
1 lemon (peeled and deseeded)

Directions

I start by washing all the fruits and veggies thoroughly.
I cut the cucumber, celery, and apple into chunks that are easy for my blender to handle.
I peel and deseed the lemon to avoid any bitterness.
I blend everything together with a splash of water if needed, until smooth.
If I prefer a juice-like texture, I strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Otherwise, I drink it as-is for extra fiber.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 1 serving. It takes me about 5 minutes to prepare and 2 minutes to blend. The total time is around 7 minutes—perfect for a quick morning boost.

Variations

I sometimes add a small piece of fresh ginger for an extra detox kick.
For added greens, I toss in a handful of spinach or kale.
If I want it colder, I blend it with a few ice cubes or chill the ingredients beforehand.
A green pear works beautifully in place of an apple for a slightly different flavor.
A pinch of cayenne pepper gives it a metabolism-boosting twist.

Storage/Reheating

I always drink this juice fresh to get the most nutrients, but if I need to store it, I keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I give it a good shake before drinking. Since it's a juice, there’s no reheating needed.

FAQs

What are the benefits of this detox cleanse juice?

This juice is hydrating, supports digestion, and provides a natural source of vitamins and antioxidants. It helps me feel refreshed and rebalanced.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, but I try to drink it within 24 hours to keep the nutrients and flavor fresh.

Do I need a juicer to make this?

Not at all. I use a blender and strain it if I want a smoother juice, but I often just drink it as a smoothie with all the fiber.

Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh?

I prefer fresh lemon juice for its bright, clean taste and maximum benefits, but bottled works in a pinch.

Is this safe to drink every day?

Yes, in moderation. I include it as part of a balanced diet—it’s a great way to boost my veggie and fruit intake.

Conclusion

This detox cleanse juice is a simple, nourishing way I love to reset my body and refresh my routine. With just a few ingredients and minimal effort, I can enjoy a clean, green burst of natural goodness anytime.
