SERVES 1

My green juice has all the greens your body is shouting out for in an easy-to-prepare and well-balanced hit. This is a wonderful way to increase your energy first thing in the morning, thanks to its richness in circulation-boosting and blood-oxygenating chlorophyll.

350 g (12 oz/1 bunch) English spinach

1 handful of mint

1 handful of flat-leaf (Italian) parsley

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 Lebanese (short) cucumber, halved lengthways

a few lettuce leaves

4 celery stalks

2–3 cm (¾–1¼ inch) piece of ginger, peeled

6 ice cubes

With the motor running, feed all the ingredients except the ice cubes into a juicer one at a time.

Pour into a glass over the ice cubes and sip slowly to enjoy the juice’s myriad benefits.
