Part of my management of MS is giving my body the proper nutrients it requires. When I was advised to increase my intake of certain foods, I knew I need a new strategy for getting all that good stuff into me! I soon purchased my first juicer, and I haven’t regretted it for a second. I have been drinking smoothies for a long time, but the ability to be able up my daily nutritional intake with a drink that didn’t fill me up was what got me hooked on juicing.
One of my favourite juice recipes is this Carrot Apple Ginger Juice. If the thought of juicing scares you, this is a great juice to start with! The carrots and apples give it a light sweetness, so the vegetable intake isn’t overpowering.
This is exactly like the Ginger Hammer from Booster Juice, and you can make it for less than $1 compared to the almost $5 it costs in store.
Also, since ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory, this juice is perfect for my eating plan! It’s a light, refreshing juice that can be enjoyed year-round!
Simply wash your carrots and apples (I soak mine in vinegar and water to make sure they’re clean) and slice your apples in quarters if your juicer requires it. There’s no need to peel or deseed the carrots and apples.
Next peel your ginger root with a small knife or simply use the back of a spoon to remove the outer layer.
Set your juicer on high and put the carrots, apples and ginger through!
Once your juice is extracted, chill or add ice and enjoy!
I purchased the Breville Juice Fountain Plus, on sale for $159 from Canadian Tire, and I feel like it’s a great appliance for the average juicer. I’m sure if you were making multiple juices each day you’d want something a little more heavy-duty, but for someone like me who uses it a couple times a week, it’s great!
Hope you enjoy your juice!! Any other juicers out there with favourite juice recipes you’d like to share?
