Apple, spinach and ginger juice

For breakfast I have predomenately been drinking apple and spinach juice. This morning I decided to spice things up by adding a bit of ginger. I am happy to say that it turned out to be a great idea. The sweetness of the apple cancelling out the green taste of the spinach while at the same time having its "too sweetness" being neutralised by the spinach. Then the ginger adds a slight twist just to keep things interesting.

Ingredients:

1 large apple
3 hand fulls of spinach
1/2 cm slice of ginger

This is going to be my fall back drink from now on.

Apple and spinach juice

Apple and spinach juice is a great juice to start getting accustomed to drinking spinach with. While some people have no issues going straight to drinking hard core green drinks, some of us prefer something sweeter!

The combination of apple and spinach is great. Combining the juicy sweetness of a crisp apple with the nutritious goodness of spinach makes a juice that is the perfect start to the day.

Ingredients:

1 large apple
15 stalks of spinach

You can adjust the quantites of spinach to your preferred taste. As with making any juice, it's always best to have fun and find your own best balance of fruit and vegetables, apple and spinach juice is no different.

The juice is dark green in color and tastes similar to pure apple juice although the spinach reduces the sweetness to make a thirst quenching somewhat sweet apple and spinach juice.

Juice - April 21th breakfast

Making my current favorite juice is getting me going in the mornings. It was apple and spinach again.

This time I used a bigger and juicier than normal apple which meant I could add more spinach while keeping it nice and sweet.

Ingredients:

1 big apple
12 stalks spinach

Making juice with this amount of fruit and vegetables gave me over 200ml of juice.

Juice - April 20th breakfast

I had planned on having another apple and spinach juice this morning but ate my one remaining apple last night. All I had in the fridge was a load spinach, a cucumber and a carrot. Not the most appetising but I wanted to have my morning juice.

Ingredients:

1 carrot
1 cucumber
9 stalks spinach

This produced a reasonable amount of juice. The juice was quite light but the taste wasn't all that great. Not bad, but making juice with spinach without something sweet like an apple is a little too extreme for me at the moment.

I'm all for green goodness but want to really enjoy the taste of the juices I make too.

Juice - April 18th breakfast

Still feeling sketchy when I woke up I knew that making juice was the order of the day. I found a host of vegetables from my week's juicing that needed eaten, or drunk, soon. This juice is all about using up all the vegetables loosing their freshness in my fridge.

I wasn't overly concerned with the taste of the juice I was to make. Rather I wanted to make juice full of a variety of vegetable goodness and have a lot of juice to drink.

Ingredients:
1/8 cabbage
1/4 lettuce
1 cucumber
6 stalks spinach
1 lemon

Making juice with the above ingredients produced about a pint of juice. Some of this was the water that I had rinsed the lettuce and cabbage with for sure.

The taste was okay. Quite watery with a bit, but not too much, lemon tang.

Drinking juice to cure a hangover does, in my experience, work!

Juice - April 17th evening

After a night out drinking too many beers and whiskey I came home and decided that making juice might help me avoid a hangover. I wanted to have something full of goodness and that I knew tasted good. My current favorite is apple and spinach juice.

Ingredients:

15 stalks of spinach (I think)
1 apple

I love making this juice. You can taste the spinach although it's not particularly strong and the sweetness of the apple makes it really enjoyable to drink. I think making this juice definitely helped nulify the after effects of drinking too much alcohol!

Juice - April 15th breakfast

After making plain carrot juice the other day I have decided to keep things simple for the time being. This morning I wanted to drink some greens but also make a tasty juice.

Ingredients:

approx. 25 stalks spinach
1 apple

Making juice from apple and spinach is a great combination. The sweetness of the apple and the goodness of the spinach provides a delicious and healthy breakfast juice.

I will definitely be drinking apple and spinach juice again!

Juice - April 14th breakfast

For breakfast this morning I wanted to get through some of the green vegetables that I bought over the weekend. Making juice from fresh vegetables is optimum and I think I slightly over bought on Saturday.

Ingredients:

6 stalks spinach
1/8 cabbage
1/4 lettuce
1 cucumber
1 stalk parsley
twist of lemon

This drink was similar to water in consistency and had a dark green colour. Taste-wise it wasn't bad but at the same time not great. As green juices go though it was easy to drink.

Juice - April 12th breakfast

Sundays is the day for hanging out with my son. So I thought starting the day with some freshly made juice would work well. He was much more into making the juice than drinking it mind you.

Even though I decided to use some greens, I thought the inclusion of an apple would be his ticket. He seemed to want to eat some apple instead though!

Ingredients:

1 apple
1 carrot
3 stalks spinach
3 stalks komatsuna
1 stalk parsley

Really easy to drink, kind of full bodied due to the carrot and nice to have some green goodness in there too.

Sundays will be my day for experimenting to find a juice that my son loves!
