Ingredients

ginger 6 oz 170 g 1 1/2 cups chopped ginger
lemon 6 oz 170 g 2 sm-med lemons
red apple 5 oz 142 g 1 medium apple

Directions

  1. Quarter the lemon (leaving skin on) and place directly into the press. If you don’t have a juice press, peel the lemon and juice with the rest of the ingredients.

  2. Grind the produce and press.

  3. Pour into three 4 oz servings or down all 12 oz at once for a powerful dose of nutrients! (experienced juicers only)

Pro Tips

  • No need to peel the ginger, it actually has a light gingery flavor and some nutritional value as well.

  • If turmeric root is unavailable, you can sub ground turmeric. For every 1 ounce of turmeric root, use 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder.

  • Did you know lemon juice is alkalizing? In its original state it is acidic with a pH of about 2, but once metabolized in the body, it becomes alkaline with a pH of 7+.

  • Adjust to your taste! You can add less apple for more punch, or more apple to make it like a cider.
