This is a highly energising and refreshing minty green juice with ginger and lime. I love green juices because their vast array of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients are quickly absorbed into your bloodstream, where they deliver their nutrients to every cell in your body for deep cleansing, detoxing and nourishment. I’m not a big fan of juicing fruit because the fibre has been removed and it hits your bloodstream too quickly. This can cause an energy crash, which may affect your mood. If you would like a sweeter green drink, try adding a little puréed banana or blueberries to the juice.
2 cucumbers, cut into medium-sized pieces (leave the skin on and buy organic cucumbers if possible)
60g kale leaves, tough stems removed
60g baby spinach
1 handful of fresh mint leaves
2 tsp freshly grated ginger
1 lime, peeled and halved
ice cubes, for serving
1 Prepare the ingredients and process them through the juicer in the order listed.
2 Serve chilled in a tall glass or jar with a couple of ice cubes. It’s best to drink this juice as soon as possible after pressing, but it can be frozen for up to three months.
