Call me crazy but after a long day at work, juicing relaxes me. I love creating new juices with whatever fruit and veggies I have; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. This one is definitely a winner! It’s hydrating, sweet and a little spicy. I’d recommend it on a hot summer day although it also works its magic on a cold and rainy winter morning.
It’s a Vitamin C powerhouse! All its ingredients are source of vitamin C: lemon, carrots, celery, fennel, apple, pear, and ginger! You might want to consider taking this at least once a week to help you strengthen your immune system.
Carrots, 2
Celery, one stalk
Pear, one
Golden Delicious Apple, 1
Lemon, 1
Fennel, 2-3 cm of the bulb (check out the picture)
Ginger, a big chunk (depending on how spicy you want it)
Instructions
It’s a no-brainer. In your juicer, start with the pear and finish off with the apple to ensure maximum juice extraction. Tadaaaa! If you want to make it a little thicker, blend the juice with two or three ice cubes.
