Serves 2
Ingredients
- 50 g 2 cups baby spinach
- 10 g 1 tbsp fresh turmeric, peeled
- 15 g 1 tbsp fresh ginger (about ½ thumb-sized piece), peeled
- 2 limes peeled (remove as much white pith as possible)
- 1 grapefruit peeled (remove as much white pith as possible)
- ½ cucumber chopped (about ½ cup)
- 1 green apple cored and chopped (about ¾ cup)
- 5 g 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves (about a small handful)
- 120 ml ½ cup water (plus more if needed)
- Ice cubes optional, for a colder drink
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients:
- Peel the limes and grapefruit, ensuring you remove as much of the white pith as possible to avoid bitterness.
- If not using organic turmeric and ginger, peel them before use.
- Chop the cucumber and apple into small pieces for easier blending.
- Remove the mint leaves from their stalks.
Blend:
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
- Blend until smooth and well combined.
- If the consistency is too thick, add more water or a few ice cubes to thin it out.
Serve:
- Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately for the freshest flavor and maximum nutrients. Enjoy!
Notes
- Add a pinch of black pepper to enhance the absorption of turmeric’s beneficial compounds.
- For a milder flavor, swap grapefruit for an extra apple or orange.
- If you prefer a lighter texture, strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag.
