Possible Ingredient Alternatives
For those looking to modify this cabbage juice recipe, several substitutions can be considered. Kale or collard greens can replace half the cabbage, offering similar nutritional benefits and potentially increasing the juice’s vitamin content. Use a 1:1 ratio when substituting. Fennel bulb can be used instead of celery, providing a mild licorice flavor while maintaining the recipe’s digestive benefits. Replace celery with an equal amount of chopped fennel. For a lower-sugar option, cucumber can substitute for the apple, reducing overall sweetness while adding refreshing notes. Use one medium cucumber in place of the apple. These alternatives maintain the recipe’s therapeutic properties while accommodating different taste preferences or dietary needs.

Ingredients
- 1/2 medium head cabbage
- 2-3 large celery stalks
- 2 medium carrots (I like organic carrots for this recipe)
- 1 medium apple (use a sweet variety like Fuji or Gala for best flavor)
- 3-4 stems fresh mint (removes any bitterness from the cabbage)
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Begin by preparing your ingredients.
Wash all the produce thoroughly.
If necessary, peel the ingredients.
Cut the cabbage, carrots, celery, and apple into smaller chunks, about 1 inch in size, to facilitate easy blending or juicing.
Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
Place the chopped ingredients into a blender.
Add a touch of water to help with the blending process.
Start blending on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
For easier blending, it may be helpful to add only half of the ingredients first with water, blend until you have a liquid paste, then add the remaining ingredients.
Continue blending until you achieve a homogeneous mixture.
Step 3: Strain the Juice
Once blended, strain the mixture through a mesh bag or nut milk bag.
Squeeze the bag with your hands to extract as much juice as possible into a clean container.
Avoid using a regular metal strainer as this might lead to significant wastage of juice.
Discard the remaining pulp.
Step 4: Alternate Juicing Method
If you prefer, use a masticating juicer.
Chop all ingredients to a size that fits your juicer and juice according to the user’s manual.
This method streamlines the juice extraction and often retains more nutrients.
Step 5: Consume the Fresh Juice
Enjoy the freshly made cabbage juice immediately or within 30 minutes for optimal freshness and nutrient retention.
If you’re unable to drink it right away, store the juice in a glass airtight bottle in the fridge and consume it within 24 hours.
