If you're a green juice fan, you know that the veggie-packed beverage can be a nutrient-rich and hydrating addition to your morning meal or afternoon snack. You also know that if you grab one at your favorite juice shop regularly it can get pricey. But what if you could make one at home that's even more nutritious? And without a juicer?

Good news: You can create a veggie-packed green juice with only two ingredients and no fancy kitchen equipment.

How to make 2 ingredient green juice

To make a nutritious and tasty green juice without a juicer, all you need is an organic greens powder and water. For a creamier beverage, try it with coconut, almond, or oat milk.

We recommend grabbing a protein shaker to mix your drink most effectively, but any container with a lid will work (Mason jar, water bottle, etc.). You can also throw it in a blender or mixer for a few pulses until combined.

Ingredients

8 oz. water (you can also use coconut water, coconut milk, almond milk, or oat milk)1 tsp. greens powder (or up to 1 Tbsp., according to taste).

What are the benefits of this green juice?

With only three steps and two ingredients, this beverage is ideal for anyone looking for a quick and simple, yet nutrient-dense, drink. When shopping for a greens powder, look for dark leafy greens such as broccoli and spinach, as well as hard-to-find sea vegetables, like in mbg's organic veggies+ powder.

The organic veggies+ powder also contains vegan digestive enzymes, prebiotic fiber, and probiotic bacteria, which help support healthy digestion.* Unlike some premade juices, this one is low in sugar (only 2 g per serving, which comes naturally from the fruits and vegetables in the blend), but don't let the lack of sweetener fool you: This powder actually tastes delicious.
