You didn't think I was going to let St Patrick's Day pass without a green juice recipe, did you? Perhaps a little cliched, yes but I wanted to include this green juice as it is a delicious introduction for beginners. I had originally designed the recipe as a three ingredient juice with just kale, apple and ginger but I decided to add in lemon at the last minute because vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron from the kale. I'm pleased that I did because the sharpness of the lemon balances the bitter, peppery kale and makes it more drinkable. Ginger adds a spicy kick whilst apple adds sweetness so that this is easier to drink than some green juices. It's wonderfully refreshing and a great way to start the morning.
