The Green Machine
Ingredients:
10 Granny Smith Apples
1 Ginger root (this can get really spicy so start small and add more if you want)
1lb of Spinach
3 Lemons
Directions:
I like to prepare everything before I start juicing them.
1. Remove the stems from all apples and wash them.
2. Peel the rinds off of all the lemons.
3. Wash the spinach.
4. Fire up your juicer.
5. Put 2 apples through the juicer.
6. Then juice 1 lemon.
7. Then grab a handful of Spinach and put it in the juicer.
8. After that juice the ginger root.
9. Add the full glass to a container. I prefer to put my container in the sink with a funnel so that it cuts down on the mess.
10. Repeat 5-8 until all of the apples, lemons, and spinach are gone (the ginger was in the first round).
11. Combine all of the juice in the container and shake really good so all of the flavors get mixed together.
There you have it! The Green Machine.
