Note: I was sent a Hurom H320 Slow Juicer in order to write this post including a recipe for Green Juice. Opinions are mine alone.
This summer, I have really been enjoying having a CSA share again. However, no matter how hard I try, it is still difficult to use up all of those beautiful fruits and vegetables!
When Hurom contacted me about trying one of their Slow Juicers, I felt like the timing was perfect! What a great way for me to utilize these ingredients more, like in this recipe for Green Juice!
My husband has been making himself “green drinks” for years now in a blender (paid link) but I have trouble getting over the super pulpy texture of it. So Hurom’s H320 Slow Juicer (paid link) called out to me immediately. Not only is the juicer quite the visual stunner (shown in color “Kale”), but it also has two different strainers, one which yields an ultra-low pulp juice.
Despite the name, slow juicers are still pretty darn quick. Hurom’s patented Slow Squeeze Technology uses an auger to squeeze out juice (similar to how you would hand-squeeze an orange). This natural motion minimizes damage to ingredients, keeping their natural taste and nutrition intact.

I am still learning the ins and outs of juicing and how to create the perfect balance of tasty and nutrient-rich juices, but I figured I’d take inspiration from my husband’s green drinks for my first try to make this Green Juice.
This recipe for Green Juice uses quite the colorful group of fruits and veggies, but the color of the kale and spinach wins out in the end, providing that nice green color to the drink.
Ingredients (makes ~16 oz juice; multiply as needed):
- 1 orange, skin removed and quartered
- 1/2 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
- 3 carrots
- 1 banana, skin removed
- 1 apple
- 4 cups spinach or kale (I used a mix of both)
To make, prepare all of your ingredients.
Set up your Hurom H320 and position the juice container on the left and the pulp container on the right of the juicer underneath the spouts.
Turn on the Slow Juicer and add the ingredients one by one through the opening in the top of the hopper.
When all of your ingredients are in the hopper, open the latch for the juice to pour into the juice container. (You can really do this at any stage.)
The Hurom H320 will extract the juice while also separating out the pulp. (I was surprised with how quiet the H320 is while running!)
Once all of the juice is extracted, stir the juice to evenly incorporate all of the ingredients.
Pour into a container with a tight fitted lid and refrigerate for at least one hour before enjoying.
Look at all of that pulp!
The drink was nice and smooth and had a balanced, slightly sweet flavor to it. My husband even gave his seal of approval!
This green juice can be stored for a few days in the fridge, making it a great way to prep for the week.
I am looking forward to trying a bunch of different juices with the Hurom H320. What is your favorite juice combination?
FYI, I was absolutely dreading having to clean this juicer. I figured it had to be such a pain to do. But not even a little bit! The juicer is surprisingly easy to clean and rinse. What a relief!
