And finally...a green juice

adapted from Alkaline Recipes

California Apple Tart Smoothie

Just juice the lot!

1. 2 cucumbers, or ½ bunch celery -

I used one third of a long organic cucumber and a stalk of celery

2. 2 hard Granny Smith apples (OK, so this one's not too alkalizing, but it's so yummy! Just make the cucumbers BIG! ;)

I used half a Granny Smith

3. 1 head kale, about 7 leaves

I used a double mega handful of pre-chopped and rinsed kale

4. 1 lemon, yellow skin removed, white pith intact

I used half a lemon

This produced over two small glasses of green juice. Still not entirely sure - I feel just a little queasy but the very thought of green juice does that to me. One glass would have been enough (but I wasn't going to waste the vitamins and the preparation!) Taste-wise : surprisingly palatable. The lemon adds both a sweetness and a zing - and pretty much hides the taste of the kale; the pith leaves a lingering taste on the tongue.

Interesting!
