Juice Recipe #1 |
Breakfast Juice |
If you have a juicer, this recipe takes just a few minutes to make. And it's a great way to boost your energy levels for the day.
The vitamin C in the apples helps keep your immune system healthy. The beta-carotene in the carrots is converted by the liver into Vitamin A, which is essential for good eye sight and cellular health. The ginger increases your metabolic rate, literally waking you up and getting you ready to start the day! |

Ingredients |
Serves 1
1 medium - large apple
2 - 3 medium carrots
1/2 inch root ginger (fresh)
1 teaspoon spirulina powder (optional) |
|
| |
Method |
- Wash the apple and cut into quarters. There's no need to peel or core it, unless you want to.
- Scrub the carrots with a vegetable brush. Chop off the leaf end.
- Peel the ginger with a vegetable peeler.
- Juice the carrots, then the ginger, then the apple.
This makes sure the ginger doesn't block your juicer. It's quite hard to juice and can clog the cutting blades. So juicing the apple afterwards helps wash this through.
- Add the spirulina powder, if using, and mix well.
Drink within the next few hours, for maximum vitamin content.

Notes & Variations |
| The spirulina is bright green and can get everywhere, if you're not careful. Don't add it to the juicer, or it could speckle your kitchen nicely! |
