Enjoy this immune-boosting detox juice, with beetroot to help improve blood flow and liver detoxification, combined with nutritious carrot, celery and Vitamin C-rich fruits lemon and blueberry, to help hydrate and leave you feeling refreshed and revitalised.
*makes 1.5 - 1.8 litres:
6 large green apples
1 large lemon
1 large beetroot
2 carrots
2 large celery stalks
handful blueberries
1 large knob of ginger *size of a thumb
handful fresh herbs
mint, dill & parsley
apple cider vinegar *for wash
1. Wash fruit and veg: Fill a clean sink with water and a splash of acv. Place all the ingredients in the water to soak while setting up the juicer.
2. Set up your juicer (cold-pressed) with a large bowl to catch the juice and a sieve between the spout and the bowl. Alternatively, pour juice through a sieve at the end before bottling.
3. Prep: Cut the apples into roughly 6 pieces (half and then in threes). Remove the leaves from the celery and chop stalks into 3cm pieces. Cut the top and tail off the beetroot and carrot and discard. Chop the beetroot in half and then into smaller pieces. Slice the carrot into long thin sticks. Remove skin from lemon and cut in quarters. Remove the skin from the ginger.
4. Turn the juicer on and start to feed ingredients through, alternating between pieces of fruit and pieces of veg. The idea is to use juicier fruit pieces in between the dense veg to help lubricate.
5. Just before all the ingredients are juiced, taste test and adjust accordingly. You may prefer more fruit or herbs and we always try every batch before bottling.
6. Pour into clean jars or an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to three days FROM the day of juicing.
R E C I P E N O T E S
- Most apple varieties are great for juicing but we love the clean crisp taste of green apples.
- Anything with edible skin can be juiced. Leave the skin on for extra nutrients.
- Taste as you go and taste before bottling. If the flavour is too strong juice some extra mint and fruit. Juices will always taste better once chilled.
- Scoop off the foam before bottling.
