Let’s start juicing!

Here’s to Wednesday and feel good juices! Today’s masterpiece is called KIWI KALE HEAVEN! It may not appear very appealing, but I can assure you that it tastes just delicious. Right amount of kiwi is balancing out kale’s just slightly bitter taste and lemon to make it fresh and tasty. Yammmmm!

As I prefer not following specific recipes, here are the ingredients:

2 kiwis

kale (a good handful)

4 small apples

1 lemon

1 small piece of ginger

Kiwis contain fiber, vitamin C, A, E and K, iron, potassium, folate, copper, choline, magnesium and phosphorus. They are known for maintaining healthy skin tone and texture, reducing blood pressure and preventing heart disease and stroke.

Kale contains vitamin A, C and K, copper, potassium, iron, magnesium and phosphorus. They are known for improving blood glucose control in diabetics, lowering the risk of cancer, lowering blood pressure, improving bone health, lowering the risk of developing asthma.
