It’s a great way to kick-start your day, supercharge your afternoon or simply keep your gut energised with natural, plant-based goodness.
There’s a fiery kick to it from the ginger that’ll put hairs on your chest! it will definitely warm you up from the inside out on these cold wintery mornings.
You just need a juicer and preferably a cold-pressed one. If you don’t have one, then place all the ingredients in a blender, add some water and blend until smooth. You could then strain it if you want to otherwise drink it as is.
If you can’t get fresh ginger and/or turmeric you can use dried. Make the juice using only the apple and the lemons, pour it into a jar, add the ground ginger and turmeric and stir.
Lastly, turmeric is also really good for you. Make sure you check out my blog THE SUPER POWERS OF TURMERIC.
