DONNA’S GREEN JUICE
Please note, for best results all ingredients should be organic or locally grown and juice should be consumed within a couple of days to benefit from the live enzymes. This recipe serves 8.
INGREDIENTS:
2 Ea. Granny smith Apples
4 Ea. Fuji Apples
1 Head of Fennel
1/2 Head of Celery
6-8 Large Romaine Leaves
4-6 Leaves Lacatino Kale
1 Whole Cucumber
1 Yellow Pepper
1 12 oz pack of Baby Spinach
1″ Piece of Ginger
1 Whole Lemon
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a large bowl, soak the romaine and kale leaves in cold water. Gently stir the leaves to help remove the sand and then lift the leaves out of the water and place in a new bowl. Next, wash the rest of the fruit and vegetables in cold water and then cut all of the fruit and vegetables into small pieces that will easily fit into the mouth of the juicer.
Using a champion juicer, proceed to juice.
