Ingredients

The Green Base

4 large kale leaves Stems removed for better flavor.
4 stalks celery Provides natural electrolytes.
1 large cucumber Acts as the hydrating base.

The Flavor & Metabolism Boosters

2 medium green apples Granny Smith preferred for tartness.
1 whole lemon Completely peeled to remove bitter white pith.
1 inch fresh ginger root Peel for a cleaner taste.

Equipment

Juicer (Centrifugal or Masticating)
Sharp Paring Knife
Glass Mason Jar

Method

Wash all produce thoroughly. Soak apples and cucumbers in water with a splash of apple cider vinegar to remove residue.
Prepare the lemon by removing all yellow zest and the bitter white pith, leaving only the segments.
Using the 'Sandwich Method,' bunch kale leaves together and feed them through the juicer between two pieces of cucumber or apple to maximize extraction.
Follow with the celery stalks and cucumber chunks to 'wash' the leafy green nutrients through the machine.
Juice the green apples next; the acidity helps stabilize the vibrant emerald color and prevents oxidation.
Finish by juicing the ginger and lemon segments to clear the machine and add the final metabolism-boosting zing.
Stir gently with a glass rod and serve immediately, preferably over ice for a crisp finish.

Notes

Sofia's Pro Tip: To preserve the maximum amount of live enzymes, chill all your produce overnight before juicing. Heat from the juicer motor can degrade nutrients, so starting with ice-cold ingredients is key.
