Green Juice

A good quality masticating juicer will give you the best quantity and quality of juice.

The cucumber and celery alkalise; the green leaves cleanse and detoxify; the apple, lemon and ginger add even more nutrition, zing and flavour.

Preparation time: 5 mins

Serves: 1-2

Ingredients:

• 1 organic cucumber

• 1 organic celery

• 1/2 or 1 whole organic lemon (most of the nutrition is in the pith and peel of the lemon, cut off the outer peel if the lemon is not organic)

• 1 whole organic apple or pear - 2 if you need more sweetness

• thumbnail of fresh ginger or small piece of fresh turmeric root (optional)

• 2-3 (or more) handfuls of green leaves (kale, spinach, rocket, watercress)

• wild greens if available – dandelion, grass, plantains, ground elder, clover, nettles

Method:

• Juice in a masticating juicer

• You can also add your favourite green powder - barley grass, wheat grass, spirulina, chlorella

• 1tsp - 1 tbsp cold pressed oil (olive, hemp, flax, pumpkin seed) will ensure full absorption of anti oxidants and oil soluble vitamins - A, D, E and K.
