Method

1
Rinse the kale, parsley and celery well under cold water, and scrub the cucumber, apple and ginger.
2
Chop the celery and cucumber into pieces that fit your juicer chute, and cut the apple into wedges, removing the core.
3
Peel the lemon and cut it into quarters. Slice the ginger thumb into a few chunks, no need to peel if it is scrubbed clean.
4
Tear the kale into big handfuls and bunch the parsley together so the leaves feed in easily.
5
Feed the kale and parsley into the juicer, alternating with the celery and cucumber so the leaves get pushed through.
6
Juice the apple, ginger and lemon last to flush out the remaining green juice.
7
Give the juice a good stir, then taste. Add a little more lemon or ginger if you want it meaner.
8
Pour into two glasses over ice and drink right away while it is at its freshest.

Storage

Best drunk right away. Keep any extra in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours and shake before drinking.

Good to know

No juicer? Blend everything with 1 cup of cold water, then strain through a nut milk bag or fine sieve.
Add the apple last or use a second one if you want it sweeter.
