When you first look at the ingredients for this juice, you may just move onto the next recipe. I am here to beg that you don’t do that until you give it a try, at least once. I don;’t often beg, but this is an exception. It is really incredible that the recipe calls for a ton of greens but doesn’t taste at all like you are drinking a salad. The lemon cuts through the green flavor, the apples provide a subtle sweetness and the ginger kicks it all in the ass.
The most incredible thing about this juice is just how good you will feel after you have tossed it back. Maybe not right away, because sometimes it takes a minute to get through the earthy smell. My bet is that once you have finished this drink, throughout the day you will find increased focus and heightened energy level. If you are looking for these effects, keep drinking it for a week and then let me know how you feel. It’ll make you feel ten years younger, giving you renewed vigor.
I first found this drink in Natalia Rose’s book The Raw Food Detox Diet. You can follow it to the tee, or branch out on your own. We have used cucumber, carrots, more apples, Swiss chard or any other leafy green. Just remember the ginger and lemon to cut through the green taste. I like this drink just about any way you juice it.
Recipe:
1/2 bunch kale- rinsed thoroughly
1/2 head romaine lettuce- rinsed thoroughly
2 Fuji or other apples, washed
1 lemon, peeled
1 thumb fresh ginger
Slam it through the juicer, give it a stir, grease up your elbow and toss it back.
