Substitutions

• Spinach - you can substitute with other leafy greens such as kale or collard greens.
• Apples - use any kind of apples you like. Use red apples for a sweeter note and green apples for a tangy note. See juicing green apples with spinach.
• Lemon juice - use limes instead or substitute for other citrus fruits such as grapefruit or oranges.
• Garlic - you can omit it if you find it too overpowering, or you can sub for ginger root.

🍽 Equipment

Juicer - choose a cold-pressed juicer over a centrifugal juicer. they are a little more expensive but are definitely the best option in the long run. Cold-pressed juicers yield more liquid, and since there is no heat involved as there is in centrifugal users, your juice preserves more nutrients.

OR

1. Blender- if you don't have a juicer, you will need a high-speed blender (affiliate link) and,
2. Mesh strainer- when making juice, use a regular colander or nut milk bags. We recommend using the same ones we use to make almond milk.
3. Bowl - It is always better to use a large bowl (affiliate link) to work the blender method without making a mess in the kitchen early in the morning.

🔪 Instructions

This morning detox drink involves 3 simple steps.

1. Washing and preparing your ingredients. Peel the lemon. Removing the skin and white parts. Also, peel the optional garlic clove.
2. Chopping in sizable chunks.
3. Juicing your veggies and fruit.

You will be left with the pulp but use it for compost or a smoothie.

Hint: if you don’t have time, you can freeze the pulp and use it for pulp muffins or carrot cake later (only if you didn't add the garlic clove).

If you choose to add the garlic, don´t forget to remove the inner germ, to get minimize its strong flavor and make it easier to digest.

Hint: if you want to make these lemon garlic health shots juice but don't have a juicer yet, you can use a blender with a nut milk bag to separate the remaining pulp from the fresh juice.
