I knew there was kale in the fridge so I pulled out the juicer and made this sweet-tart-succulent juice.
I had to fight my children for my glass since they finished theirs before I could take this photo!
If you're new to juicing or scared you won't like it, start with this recipe.
Ingredients:
kale
spinach
green apple
ginger
lemon
This morning I used 2 heads of kale, 4 Granny Smith apples, 2 handfuls of spinach, a thumb sized piece of peeled fresh ginger and 2 small Meyer lemons.
This recipe is also delicious with cucumber, celery, parsley and any other greens you fancy.
My sister and I started juicing together after we watched the documentary Fat Sick & Nearly Dead. We went to a thrift store that day and bought 2 used juicers. {One was $4, the other was $8.}
Since then I've purchased a nicer juicer and found several amazing juice recipes.
*Tips: Rinse and chop everything before you begin and then alternate the ingredients as you juice to keep your juicer from clogging. I usually wrap the peeled ginger in a piece of kale to keep it from getting kicked off the blade into the pulp. I peel my lemons and throw them in whole. The apples I quarter and juice, seeds and all. Be sure to rinse your juicer as soon as you finish juicing. It's a royal pain to clean once the pulp dries. Happy juicing!
