One of our favorite parts about our stay at the Four Seasons Costa Rica is the incredible breakfast that guests can enjoy. And our favourite part of breakfast is our fresh and healthy green juice; which is why we wanted to share our Four Season juice recipe with you.
It’s a drink that makes you a better person — it’s that powerful. OK, almost that powerful. You will feel like you are drinking a garden. There is no fruit juice in our Four Seasons juice recipe because, really guys, you should eat your fruit and drink your veggies. It a fantastic, low hanging method to get all the vegetables that your body needs into your diet.
Add a green juice to your daily routine as a natural reset that your body will come to crave. If you like Del Monte veggie recipes, then you will love this green juice recipe.
Four Seasons Costa Rica juice bar
The juice bar at the Four Seasons Costa Rica deserves its own feature.
The bar is open all day and is stocked with fresh ingredients. They can whip up any concoction that guests can dream of and won’t judge if you want to add in some Costa Rican rum or other spirits to make it more interesting. After all, it’s always 5 o’clock somewhere, and you are on vacation.
After just one day in Costa Rica, our guy Santos at the Four Seasons had the drill down. He had our green juice, aptly named “The Most Green,” ready and waiting for us to start the day.
The drink gave us much needed fuel to explore, hike and enjoy Costa Rica. In honor of that trip to Costa Rica, this is our Four Seasons green juice recipe which includes a few additional ingredients to the original Four Seasons “Most Green”. You can choose your own adventure with our green juice recipe; we won’t judge either.
Four Seasons juice recipe
Ingredients
1 large cucumber
3 cups of spinach
1 cup coconut water or high alkaline/PH balanced water
½ cup Wheatgrass
½ cup parsley
1 Meyer lemon
Ginger to taste
1 handful of ice
Directions
This Four Seasons juice recipe is best made with a juicer as a juicer achieves the most concentrated juice. If you don’t have a juicer you can use a Vitamix on a high blend setting.
Wash and finely chop the cucumber and spinach.
Cut the lemon in half lengthwise (cutting lengthwise exposes more lemon membrane).
Squeeze the lemon over a bowl. You can use a fork to further tear up the membrane to get more lemon juice.
Add the chopped ingredients and the lemon juice into your juicer or Vitamix.
Pour in the coconut water (ideal for targeting inflammation) and add ginger to aid digestion.
Add the rest of the ingredients into the mixer.
Blend together on a high setting for 2 minutes or until the juice is frothy.
Pour the juice into a large glass using a fine sieve strainer to remove all the solids.
Garnish with an edible flower or a slice of cucumber, and serve ice cold.
