Prep: 15 min

2 servings

Easy

Green Juice, known locally as 'عصير أخضر' (Aseer Akhdar), is a refreshing and nutrient-dense beverage that has become a staple in Dubai’s vibrant health-conscious dining scene. Inspired by the city’s blend of modern wellness trends and traditional Emirati hospitality, this juice is often served at luxury hotel restaurants, trendy beach clubs, and as part of business lunches in Dubai’s bustling city center. Especially popular during Ramadan iftar and suhoor, Green Juice offers a cooling, hydrating boost after a long day of fasting. Dubai’s take on Green Juice features fresh, locally sourced greens such as cucumber and parsley, balanced with the delicate sweetness of apple and zesty lemon. This drink is celebrated for its crisp, invigorating taste and its ability to complement the rich, aromatic flavors typical of Emirati classics and Levantine mezze. With only 45 calories per serving, Green Juice is a perfect choice for those seeking a light, clean, and vegan-friendly option that supports a healthy Dubai lifestyle.
