Green Lemonade

It's a new year and with that comes the infamous weight loss resolutions. I am focusing on eating less of what's not good for me. I am a foodie so I enjoy great food and the key to that is consuming acidifying foods in moderation. I brought my Breville juicer last year and I enjoy using it. My little one loves to see the juice come out and is patiently waiting with his cup.

3 braeburn apples; 2 celery stalks; 1 lemon; 1/2 cucumber; fresh peeled ginger to taste; 3 kale leaves; 2 cups of spinach



The ingredients are shown and listed in the caption above. I sliced the apple to remove the seeds, as they contain cyanide. The skin of the lemon and cucumber are peeled. I use about an inch peeled of the ginger root. The leafy vegetables are placed in the chute before the other ingredients to produce a better yield; I have a centrifugal juicer which is best for juicing harder fruits and vegetables.

This juice is oh so refreshing!

I used a pint sized mason jar, stirred the juice and removed the foam. Make sure to consume the juice immediately or soon as possible as that is ideal. The longer the juice sits, the more it oxidizes hence vitamins and nutrients are lost. This is definitely a favorite of mine. I would love for you to share your favorite juice concoctions.
