Green Morning Juice

Carrot-Orange Immunity Juice

Beet-Apple Energizer

Method

Green Morning Juice

  1. 1

    Prepare produce

    Wash kale and spinach thoroughly. Remove thick kale stems. Roughly chop cucumber and core and quarter the green apple. Peel ginger.

  2. 2

    Blend

    In a high-speed blender combine kale, spinach, cucumber, green apple, fresh lemon juice, grated ginger, cold water (or coconut water) and a pinch of salt. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 45–60 seconds. If mixture is too thick, add up to 1/2 cup more water in 1/4-cup increments.

  3. 3

    Strain (optional)

    For a smoother juice, pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag into a bowl, pressing or squeezing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the remaining pulp or save it for smoothies or baking.

  4. 4

    Finish & serve

    Stir in ice if using, taste and adjust with additional lemon or a pinch more salt if desired. Serve immediately chilled in a tall glass.

Carrot-Orange Immunity Juice

  1. 5

    Prepare produce

    Peel and chop carrots into pieces suitable for your blender or juicer. Peel orange and remove large pith, juice lemon, and peel and grate turmeric if using fresh.

  2. 6

    Juice or blend

    If you have a juicer: feed carrots, orange segments, and turmeric through the juicer. If using a blender: combine carrots, orange segments, lemon juice, turmeric, and cold water. Blend on high until smooth (about 60 seconds). Add more water if needed to reach a drinkable consistency.

  3. 7

    Sweeten and season

    Taste and add honey or maple syrup if you want more sweetness. Add a pinch of black pepper to increase turmeric bioavailability and stir well.

  4. 8

    Strain & serve

    If blended, strain through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag for a smoother texture. Pour over ice if desired and serve immediately.

Beet-Apple Energizer

  1. 9

    Prepare produce

    Peel and chop the beet into small pieces (use gloves if you want to avoid staining). Core and quarter the red apple. Juice one orange or use prepared fresh orange juice. Pick and rinse mint leaves.

  2. 10

    Juice or blend

    If using a juicer: run beet, apple, and mint through the juicer and finish with orange juice. If using a blender: combine beet, apple, orange juice, lemon juice, mint leaves and cold water. Blend until very smooth, about 60–90 seconds.

  3. 11

    Strain (optional)

    For a silky juice, pour the blended mix through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag, pressing to extract the liquid. Compost or save the pulp for other uses.

  4. 12

    Finish & serve

    Taste and adjust acidity with a little more lemon if needed. Serve over ice and garnish with a sprig of mint.
