A delicious and refreshing shot of vitamin c for those days you need a little extra boost. Feel free to alter the spiciness with the amount of ginger and pepper you add to the mix. Fun fact, adding just a little bit of black pepper makes the curcumin in the turmeric 2000 percent more bioavailable.

Ingredients:

2 large grapefruit, peeled and segmented

2 oranges, peeled and segmented (I like navel oranges)

6 medium carrots, peeled and roughly chopped

1 large lemon, peeled and chopped

3 apples, chopped (I like granny smith)

1 thumb of fresh ginger, roughly chopped

2 small thumbs of fresh turmeric root, roughly chopped

1/8-1/4 tsp ground black pepper, depending how spicy you like your juice

Procedure:

Prepare your produce as directed above. Run all of the ingredients through your juicer. Its good to alternate the more fibrous ingredients with the softer ones to keep your machine from clogging up. This is only an issue if you are using a slow masticating juicer. If your using a centrifugal juicer everything should run through smoothly without clogs.

Once all ingredients have been run through the juicer give it a quick whisk to make sure the ginger gets fully incorporated. Taste and adjust if needed. Add more apples for sweetness or ginger for spiciness etc. Drink immediately or store in an airtight glass jar in the fridge for up to 4 days.
