    Low Histamine Green Juice

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This low histamine green juice is brimming with healthy green fruits and veggies that will give you a feel-good boost. Green apples give a nice sweetness, while arugula gets those leafy greens in. Omitting higher histamine foods such as spinach and avocado, this green juice should be suitable for those on a low histamine diet, and delicious for everyone else too!

    Do check out my low histamine breakfast ideas post for so many fun and healthy ways to start the day!

    If you love healthy drinks, then you may also like to see my apple and pear smoothie and mango blueberry smoothie. Both packed with healthy ingredients!

    And for some more juice ideas, my apple ginger juice is so flavourful with a little kick of spice and my pear apple juice is perfectly sweet. For something a little different, my apple ginger chia fresca is super easy to make and so fresh and light.

    This anti inflammatory green juice is packed with greens, but uses those that are low histamine. Green juices tend to use foods such as spinach, which aren't usually recommended for those with histamine intolerance or conditions such as MCAS. So we use fresh apples, celery and cucumber instead, which are so good for you but lower histamine as per the SIGHI list.

    ⭐ Why this juice is so good

    • Fresh and light with a kick of (optional) spice: this juice has a lovely taste to it, with a hint of spice from the ginger.
    • Healthy: see below for some of the nutrients this juice provides!
    • Easy to make: if you have a juicer, then this is such a quick and easy recipe and perfect for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

    🥬 Ingredients

    all the ingredients to make low histamine green juice in small bowls.

    This recipe uses all green fruits and veg for a healthy drink that tastes so good. You will need:

    • Apples: pick green apples such as Granny Smiths to keep the colour for this juice (but red or something like a Braeburn apple are also good if you prefer a sweeter taste!).
    • Arugula, cucumber and celery: the green veg and leaves bursting with healthy vitamins.
    • Mint: gives a lovely freshness to the juice. Use fresh leaves.
    • Ginger: for a hint of spice, this is optional. Use fresh ginger root if you can.
    • Maple syrup: optional, but provides a little sweetness.

    📖 Variations to the recipe

    The leafy green of arugula are optional. You can also use kale if this works for you. Just a note for my low histamine readers that neither are rated on the SIGHI list. So only use if you know you tolerate well. Something like lamb's lettuce is an alternative and scores 0 on the SIGHI list.

    🔪 Step by step instructions

    Making this low histamine green juice is very simple, and takes minutes to come together!

    Step 1

    Dice the apples, celery, cucumber and ginger (if using) so that it can be fed into your juicer (image 1). Don't worry about them being the same size, as they will be juiced!

    Step 2

    Feed the ingredients through your juicer, with a bowl, jug or your glass collecting the juice (image 2).

    If you don't have a juicer, it's still possible to make juice! Check out my post on how to make juice without a juicer for all the details.

    💭 Recipe tips and notes

    • If you prefer a sweeter taste, then use a red apple instead. Green apples such as Granny smith apples tend to be a little tart to taste.
    • Have a taste test and adjust slightly to preference. Add more apples for sweetness if you have a sweet tooth!
    • Adjust the amount of ice to taste preference, if using, adding a cube at a time so you don't make it too watery.
    • If you don't have a juicer you can blend the ingredients and then strain through a cheesecloth.

    📋 Frequently asked questions

    What other greens can I use for this low histamine juice?

    How can I make this juice sweeter?

    Add another apple, or a touch of maple syrup for a sweeter juice.

    🥒 Health benefits of green juice

    My green juice combines apples, arugula (or kale), cucumber and a little celery and mint for a good range of vitamins and minerals. Apples have vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, dietary fibre, quercetin and phytonutrients as well as certain minerals, while kale is high in fibre and potassium (Medical News Today).

    Cucumber is really hydrating as well as containing antioxidants, and celery contains vitamin C, beta carotene and flavanoids as well as phytonutrients (Healthline).

    Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
