• 1 ginger piece (2cm)

  Juicing Time: 3 mins
  Juice Qty: 800 ml
  Serves: 2

Preparation

Celery

• Chop stalks into small thumb-size pieces across the stalks (this shortens the long stringy cellulose fibre and stops it from wrapping around the press)

• Juice with skin on

Asparagus

• Juice whole

Broccoli

• Break the florets up into small chunks

Apples

• Remove the stems and remove any stickers

• Juice apples whole with skin and seeds.

Ginger

• Cut off a 2cm thick piece

• Cut into thin slices leaving the skin on

Method

Juice the cucumber first adding one piece at a time and letting thejuicer press them through before adding more pieces.

Next, add the cup of broccoli florets. They do make a loud noise when pressed through the juicer.

Juice the apples next adding them whole one by one.

Add the asparagus next, one stalk at a time followed by the ginger.

Finish making this juice recipe by adding one handful of chopped celery at a time to the juicer until all the celery has been juiced.

Health Benefits

Celery

Celery is technically a herb however we eat it and cook it like a vegetable.

Celery juice is very alkalising in the body, which is extremely important after a good workout to help flush lactic acid from the body.

If you want to learn about the amazing benefits of drinking celery juice I highly recommend the book titled Celery Juice by Anthony William.

Here is a summary of the main benefits mentioned in the book:

• fights autoimmune disease

• flushes out Strep bacteria

• assist with acid reflux

• kills Epstein-Barr & Shingles virus

• raise hydrochloric acid levels

• improve brain function

• restores adrenal fatigue

• flushes out liver toxins

• reduces liver heat

Asparagus

The asparagus plant is rich in the compound amino acid asparagine a natural diuretic that breaks up oxalic and uric acid crystals stored in muscles and in the kidneys and eliminates them through the urine. This is where asparagus gets its name.

Asparagus contains aspartic acid which is another amino acid that neutralizes excess amounts of ammonia in the body that is often the cause of exhaustion, headaches, and poor digestion

It is also high in glutathione which is an antioxidant powerhouse and particularly beneficial for those suffering from autoimmune conditions, liver disease, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. 

Cucumber

Cucumber juice is highly alkalinizing and very hydrating. When your blood is well hydrated it can carry more oxygen which increases energy levels, kills bacteria and viruses and improves circulation.

Cucumbers can counteract toxins and lift depression; cleanse the blood; quench thirst, moisten the lungs, and purify the skin.

Cucumber juice also cools most inflammatory or heat-related conditions, including stomach inflammation, conjunctivitis, sore throat, acne, and inflamed skin diseases. Hence the saying cool as a cucumber.

Cucumbers are also allies to the liver due to their ability to hydrate it. Your liver’s always in need of living water that’s filled with minerals and other nutrients because your liver keeps your blood hydrated. It relies on sources such as cucumber for that living water.

Plus you get lots of juice without any calories.

Enjoy!
