Description

This juice is full of autumnal flavors and packs a seriously nutritious punch as an excellent source of antioxidants, iron, and vitamin C.

Ingredients

Units

12 oz of washed, organic spinach (I love Olivia’s Organics Baby Spinach if you’re buying from the grocer rather than the farmer’s market)
1 3-inch chunk of fresh ginger (peeled)
2 organic ripe pears (Bosc, Anjou, Seckel, and Barlett all work equally well)
1 apple (I like to go for a tart variety, such as Granny Smith, Cameo, Honeycrisp)
1 organic cucumber

Instructions

Juice all of the above ingredients, pour into a tall glass, and enjoy!
Cut with water for additional hydration, or alternatively, if you find the ginger flavor too strong or the pear flavor too sweet.
