Papa Sprout's Garden Green Ginger Juice

I have recently become interested in juicing. I have heard a lot of positive and negative things about juicing fruits and vegetables. We will delve more into that debate at a later date. Fruits and vegetables carry so many vital nutrients that drinking one juice is great for your health. You would become too full before you could finish eating all the fruits and vegetables in just one juice. Juicing helps you to get a wide range of nutrients in one compact glass.

My BF’s father who I refer to as Papa Sprout (he works in the produce business) began drinking two juices daily this year. He shared with me his Garden Green Ginger Juice recipe. Papa Sprout now has increased energy and looks great!

Papa Sprout’s Garden Green Ginger Juice*
Ingredients: 

1 organic granny smith apple

½ a bunch of organic kale

½ bunch of organic spinach

1 bunch organic celery

1 organic lemon OR 2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon grated organic ginger

pinch of organic basil

pinch of organic parsley

*due to the way produce is sold all measures are approximate

Directions:

1.    Beginning with the kale, add all ingredients except the ginger and lemon into the juicer.

2.  Once everything has been juiced squeeze lemon juice into glass.

3.  Grate ginger over top of juice.

4.  Stir and drink up!

I am still not crazy about the taste of juiced vegetable drinks, but the herbs and ginger in this recipe boost the flavor and kill the bitter kale taste.
