Ingredients
1 inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled
4 green apples, peeled and cored
10-12 fresh kale leaves, rinsed
1 lemon, peeled and pith removed
4 cups fresh spinach, rinsed
Directions
Thoroughly rinse all produce under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris. Peel the ginger root, green apples, and lemon, removing the white pith from the lemon. Core the apples and remove any seeds. Pat kale and spinach dry with paper towels.
Feed the ginger root, peeled apples, kale leaves, peeled lemon, and spinach through a cold-press juicer or high-powered juicer following the manufacturer's instructions. Work in batches if needed to avoid overloading the machine.
Pour the freshly extracted juice into a mixing vessel. Stir well or shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to ensure even distribution of all ingredients and flavors.
Divide the juice between two glasses filled with ice. Serve immediately for maximum freshness and nutritional benefit.
Comments
This is a straightforward juice that hits every availability mark in Charlotte: ginger root, green apple, kale, lemon, and spinach are all standard produce at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, and Kroger. The stated 10 minutes is honest for juicing and cleanup. At roughly $1.50 to $2.00 per serving depending on apple and ginger prices, it's a sensible splurge rather than a bargain. The only real caveat is that fresh juice oxidizes fast and tastes best within an hour, so plan to drink it immediately—not a make-ahead breakfast for a busy morning.
