Ingredients & Equipment
What You’ll Need — Equipment
Juicer or blender
Pitcher or jug
Whisk or spoon
Ingredient List
1.5 cups fresh green apple juice (about 3–5 apples)
2.5 cups additive-free sparkling spring water
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 dash spirulina powder (optional)
Lime or apple slices for garnish (optional)

How to Make Simple Green Apple Soda with Homemade Juice
Step 1 — Make Fresh Green Apple Juice
Chop your apples. If using a juicer, process 3–5 apples for a bladed model or 2–3 for a slow juicer.
If using a blender, chop apples, blend with up to ½ cup water, and strain through a nut milk bag or fine sieve.
Step 2 — Mix with Lime Juice
Pour the fresh apple juice into a pitcher. Stir in the lime juice right away to keep the juice bright in color and flavor.
Step 3 — Optional Spirulina Boost
If you like a touch of green superfood, whisk in a dash of spirulina powder. This adds a deeper green hue and extra nutrients.
Step 4 — Add Sparkling Water & Serve
Slowly add the sparkling water. For a lighter flavor, add more water; for a stronger apple taste, add less.
Pour your Simple Green Apple Soda with Homemade Juice into glasses and garnish with lime or apple slices. Coat apple slices in lime juice to keep them fresh-looking.

Variations & Substitutions
Swap sparkling water for still water if you prefer a non-fizzy drink.
Use ginger bug soda, kombucha, or water kefir for a probiotic-rich twist.
Lemon juice can replace lime for a different citrus note.
Add a little honey or maple syrup if you want a sweeter sip.
Storing & Serving Tips
Serve this soda fresh for the best flavor and color.
You can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, though the color will fade after 4–6 hours.
