Because there are those days that only a McDonald’s on your lunch break will do. And although it hits the spot, I can’t help but crave something super healthy afterwards.

Today was exactly that day. So when I came home I fixed myself a green juice, and now all is right in the world.

This juice packs a real nutrient punch. Below are the ingredients and the nutrients they bring to the table glass.

Grapefruit – (1 grapefruit) Folate, Magnesuim, omega 3 fatty acids, omega 6 fatty acids, potassium, vitamin A, Vitamin C.

– (1 grapefruit) Folate, Magnesuim, omega 3 fatty acids, omega 6 fatty acids, potassium, vitamin A, Vitamin C. Celery – (3 stalks) Folate, magnesium, manganese, panothenic acid, potassium, riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, Vitamin K.

– (3 stalks) Folate, magnesium, manganese, panothenic acid, potassium, riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, Vitamin K. Cucumber – (3/4 of a cucumber) Magnesium, manganese, panothenic acid, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K.

– (3/4 of a cucumber) Magnesium, manganese, panothenic acid, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K. Kale– (2 handfuls) Copper, fibre, folate, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, protein, riboflavin, thiamin, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K.

Wash and chop all of the veg into chunks, and throw into your juicer! (I use the Philips HR1867/21 Viva Collection Quick Clean Juicer – Brushed Aluminium )

This juice is a very ‘green’ tasting juice as there isn’t much in the way of sweetness. The grapefruit adds a little but in all, this is quite an ‘earthy’ tasting drink. Which I don’t dislike. If this is a little too much for you, feel free to add some green apple or other fruit to sweeten.

Let me know if you give it a try! I know green juices can often look quite intimidating, but they are so good for you, and I actually quite like the taste!

Until next time,
