Juice First Thing of the Day

...Well, actually the first thing of the day is a delicious glass of water and probiotic capsule. Second thing is toes in the grass and reading in the early morning light. So, technically fresh juice is really the third thing of the day.

Technicalities aside, here is an enlivening juice recipe for two people. Make/drink less if you aren't used to it because it has a "purifying" aspect to it.

8 med. carrots
2 gala apples
2-3 stalks celery
1 tsp - 1 tbs fresh ginger

I used a Champion juicer. (The leftover ground up vegetables are good for the chickens or compost.) 

Pour in a pretty glass and drink slowly within 5 minutes for the maximum benefit. Why? The enzymes evaporate or dissolve (idk specifics) after a few minutes. Swooshing it around in the mouth helps nutrients to be absorbed immediately and go properly through the first step of digestion - saliva. Alright too many somewhat-gross details for sharing such a good and tasty juice recipe. 

Enjoy!
