My healthy kickstart of the day
Since 2014, I start my day with a glass of homemade vegetable juice. I don’t have a sweet tooth, so fruit juices don’t do it for me. This juice contains, carrot, cucumber, a good dose of ginger, fresh turmeric, celery and beetroot. It is a good start for your daily intake of 5 a day.
Which juicer to use? Keen to find out the difference between a slow juicer or a versus centrifugal?
Head over to my review page.
Ingredients
Scale
- 95 gram cucumber
- 450 gram carrots
- 70 gram beetroot
- 45 gram fresh ginger
- 6 gram turmeric
- 105 gram celery sticks
Instructions
I keep the ingredients in the fridge so the juice comes out nicely chilled. Cut the vegetables into rough pieces and add them to the juicer.
Enjoy!
