While there are many debates over the benefits of juicing, I have found personally that my body loves fresh pressed juices! I have more energy, can stay more focused, and it gives me something tasty to drink that I know will be doing something good for my body.
There have been a few (okay maybe more than a few) really terrible juicing experiments that resulted in wishing I'd just cooked the vegetables. This juice was not one of them. It's the first one I made in 2014 and have continued to make throughout the year! It's refreshing and has a great flavor from the combination of both fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
It has ginger which is great for aiding digesting and adding a little kick in with the sweetness of the oranges and apples. Spinach is packed with iron, and parsley is well-loved for having anti-inflammatory properties.
Recipe:
Place all ingredients through a juicer in the order below, mix and enjoy!
- Ginger (1/2 thumb size)
- Parsley (a handful)
- Spinach (2 packed cups)
- Orange (1 small)
- Lemon (1/2)
- Apples (3 small)
- Cucumber (1/2)
Serve in a mason jar and use a Glass Dharma straw to stay plastic free!
