Recipe: Green juice PLUS plan your smoothie garden crops for summer

David Parker January 10, 2015

Use some of your winter leaves to make a nutrient-filled green juice. Make up your own mixtures always using some sweet, green apple to counter nutritious but bitter winter lettuce or kale.

Green juice

For 1 large glass you will need:

6 carrots
2 green apples
Handful of kale
1/2 lemon
Small knob of ginger

Put all of your ingredients through a juicer, sandwiching the kale between the two apples to help it along. Pour into a glass and drink straight away. 

For more of Lia Leendertz's winter leaves recipes, turn to page 40 of January's The Simple Things - buy, download or subscribe today.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
