I've been making this juice for twenty years. It's also my favourite way to use up the vegetables left in the fridge at the end of the week.
Ingredients
- 1–2 grapefruits
- 1 lemon
- 1 bundle of kale
- A secondary vegetable or two, like carrots or celery (this is where the week's leftover veggies come in handy)
- A little fresh ginger
- A little fresh turmeric root. It can be hard to find, so if you can't, skip it. Please don't swap in turmeric powder.
How I make it
Wash everything, cut it to fit your juicer, juice it and drink it fresh. I prefer a cold-press juicer over a centrifugal one to keep the nutritional value intact.
Why the citrus? Vitamin C helps your body absorb iron from plant foods like leafy greens.
With you in this,
