Healthy Juice Recipe For Weight Loss

Apple + Red Leaf Lettuce + Cucumber +Lemon  

Weight loss benefit:

1. Red leaf lettuce is rich in calcium, fol-ate, iron and vitamins A and K.
2. Using ginger in your juice will not only give a spicy and citrusy taste; it
will also help boost your immune system by shielding your body from
viral infections and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis. Ginger
also stimulates sweating which is important in discharging toxins
through the skin.

Yield: 1 glass

Ingredients:

 green apple 1
 lemon fruit ½
 red leaf lettuce 5 outer leaves
 cucumber 1

Preparation:

1. Wash all ingredients thoroughly.
2. Core apple and slice into wedges.
3. Peel lemon and remove the seeds.
4. Shred red leaf lettuce into salad size servings.
5. Slice cucumber into 2-inch pieces.
6. Process all ingredients in a juicer or blender. Serve over crushed ice if
you prefer your juice cold.

Variation:

Add ½ small ginger (peeled and chopped) for an extra zing to this juice.

Juicing tip:

Red leaf lettuce will make your juice deep green in color with a
smoother taste compared to bitter alternatives such as kale, spinach and
parsley.
When incorporating ginger in your juice, expect to feel a slight “burn” in
your body—that’s ginger rousing your blood circulation and
jump starting your body’s immune system!
