Ideal as a healthy breakfast drink or an energising afternoon snack, with no juicer or manual chopping required.
About this recipe
Green juice with your Thermomix TM7 is the ultimate quick breakfast drink for anyone searching for healthy green juice recipes made in an all-in-one kitchen machine. Instead of pressing produce through a juicer and losing the fibre, this recipe blends Lebanese cucumber, celery stalks, kale, carrot and a tart Granny Smith apple completely, so every vitamin-rich drop ends up in your glass. The avocado creates a soft, creamy body while the ice cubes keep everything crisp and chilled, and a scattering of chia seeds adds gentle thickness as they soak. Fresh mint lifts the vegetal notes of the kale and celery, making the juice taste bright rather than bitter. Because the TM7 chops the fibrous stalks and leaves finely before blending at high speed, the texture becomes remarkably smooth with no stringy bits. Serve it straight away in a tall glass for a morning energy boost or a post-workout refresher that comes together in mere minutes.
Preparation tips
- Wash the kale and celery thoroughly, as sandy grit hides in the leaf folds and stalk joints; a quick soak in cold water with the mint ensures a clean-tasting juice without any crunchy residue at the bottom of your glass.
- Add the avocado flesh last and blend briefly; over-processing can make the green juice slightly warm and gluey, so keep the mixture moving just until everything is velvety and uniformly green.
- For a kid-friendly version, increase the amount of Granny Smith apple or swap it for a sweeter variety, and serve in a colourful cup with a straw so the vibrant green colour feels like a treat rather than a lesson.
- Serve the green juice immediately so the chia seeds do not gel too much and the avocado keeps its fresh colour; a chilled glass straight from the fridge makes the celery and mint taste noticeably crisper.
- If your kale stalks are thick, remove the woody ends first; the TM7 is powerful, but tender leaves blend into a noticeably silkier juice than tough stems ever will.
Recipe variations
- Tropical green variation: replace the Granny Smith apple with fresh pineapple chunks and add a few coriander leaves instead of mint; the pineapple's natural sweetness balances the kale and celery beautifully for a sunny, holiday-style green juice.
- Winter citrus variation: swap the ice cubes for chilled water and add a peeled orange plus a knob of fresh ginger; the ginger warms the flavour profile while the orange keeps the kale and avocado blend bright during the colder months.
