½tablespoongarlicclove, or ginger root
Cups - Metric
Instructions
Chop. Depending on the Juicer you have, you may be able to throw everything in the Juicer without cutting it; or just roughly cutting your produce in big chunks. If not, remove the tops of the carrots.
Juice. Start introducing all the ingredients, combining the leaves and solids, to prevent the juicer from getting stuck.
Thin-up. If you want to thin the juice a little, you can add about half a cup of water in the juicer aperture so it drags some of the rest of the fruits and veggies.
Serve. Or you can reserve the juice for up to 24 hours in a mason jar.
Notes
It is not necessary to peel the ginger; the Juicer will do it all. You can also add both the carrots and celery stalks and leaves.I use this Juicer. Works very well but I am planning to upgrade to a Cold-Pressed one (the benefits are outlined in the article).
