Some fresh Italian parsley in a small handful not only gives a burst of flavour but some impressive health benefits, too. With vitamins A, C, and K, parsley plays a supporting role in detoxifying.

It will add citrus flavour to give a kick and brighten up the overall flavour of the juice. In addition, lemons are rich in vitamin C, which aids digestion; therefore adding it to your detox drink will be an amazing addition.

Finally, add a one-inch piece of fresh ginger.

The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties make ginger known for its properties and application in the world of medicine.

It will aid digestion, boost the immune system, and add a warm, spicy note to the juice. Peel and chop the ginger into smaller pieces so that they can be easily added to the blend.
- 25
Having gathered all the ingredients you need, it is now time to bring them all together.
- 26
If you have a juicer, then just feed the cucumber, celery, parsley, apple, lemon juice, and ginger through the machine, collecting fresh juice in a big container.

If you don't have a juicer, you can do it with a blender.

All the ingredients just blend with a little water to help out.
