Morning refresh juice is a great way to start your day especially if you feel like you need a bit of a boost. This is a great time of year for this juice as there’s so many apples in the garden. Ask neighbours, friends or your local community if you don’t have your own tree.

Serves 2

• 2 sticks celery

• 1/2 cucumber

• 2 apples

• 1 lime

• 2 sprigs of mint

• 1 inch piece of ginger

The key to morning refresh juice is the celery and ginger. Adapt the recipe depending on what you have available at home and what is in season. You can add spinach or kale, swap lime juice for lemon and use pear instead of apple.

If you have a juicer but if not substitute the apples for apple juice and blitz everything in a Vitamix or blender.

Method for Morning Refresher Juice:

1. Squeeze the lime juice by hand seperatley. The skin and pulp can be very bitter tasting but if you like bitter flavour you can juice the lime whole.
2. Remove the pip from the apple before juicing. (I like to do this as the seeds contain a small amount of cynacide.)
3. Put all the ingredients through the juicer.
4. Serve immediately or keep in the fridge for a day or two (fresh juice doesn’t last very long).
