Method

Always start with the leafy greens of the Bok Choy, this will help extract the maximum amount of green chlorophyll from the leaves.
Next juice the cucumber chunks followed by the apples.
Finish the juice with the lemon slices.

Tip: When shopping make sure the bok choy is crisp and the leaves have not gone yellow.

Healthy Benefits

Apples are natures healers and when combined with other ingredients, like the ones in this juice, they enhance the nutritional components of the juice.

Bok Choy is high in calcium, folic acid, vitamin A, vitamin C and tons of other minerals which make it very beneficial for bone health.

Cucumber and Bok Choy together can help with bone related inflammation.

Cucumber juice can help in reducing the high uric acid content that causes inflammation in many degenerative diseases making it a natural anti-inflammatory.

Cucumbers are also extremely hydrating so are another excellent way of getting water into our bodies.
