Green Veggie Juice

This green veggie juice might not be for a veggie juice virgin but you can add more apple for extra sweetness at first.

Green veggie juice ingredients:

• 2 celery sticks
• 1/4 cucumber
• two handfuls of spinach
• few sprigs of fresh mint
• 1 carrot
• 1/2 granny smith apple (or other variety for sweeter taste)

Push all the veggies through your juicer and volia a fantastic healthy green veggie juice – said to have anti ageing properties and be a fantastic start to the day.

If you have never tried a veggie juice recipe before then they can be a bit of a shock to the taste buds, especially if you consume alot of fruit juice. So my top tip is to use an apple to give it a sweet kick to start with, then you can gradually ween yourself off this.

Veggies to juice

When making any veggie juice recipe, the great news is that you can really use any number of veggie combos it really is just a question of taste. My favourite veggies to juice are:

Celery | Carrot| Beetroot | Cucumber

I love the taste of these veggies but also they are easy to get hold of and have lots of juice to give. On top of this my number one favourite addition is a inch of fresh ginger, gives it a real kick and also great for giving you an energy kick when needed.

Making a veggie juice…. 1 apple, 2 carrots, stick of celery, few inches of cucumber, 1 fresh beetroot (raw), inch of ginger:

• Prepare the veggies and apple - wash and peel where required ( I am a lazy peeler – pips and all go in)
• Chop veggie so they easily fit the machine
• Process the veggies through the food processor
• Then add the Ginger, be warned a small piece of ginger goes a long way so its best to do a small piece to start then taste to see if you want more of a Ginger kick.
• Stir round the juice and consume (drink juice reasonable fast as it can settle funnily)

If you have ever had a juicer then you will know that easy cleaning is a must. The Lequip Juicer features a high-quality (dishwasher-proof) stainless steel bowl, blade and basket so is is genuinely one of the easiest juicers to clean.

No special cleaning tools are required or fiddly components to clean. It comes apart very easily and it just needed a rinse through. The filter needed an extra scrub to ensure the best juicing but if you clean it straight after juicing its a breeze.
