Good Morning Body Juice
¼ fennel bulb
1 apple
½ pear
4 sprigs mint
6 sprigs parsley
1cm (½ inch) fresh ginger, peeled
1 tsp Pure Synergy (or other living green food)
Wash all the fruit and vegetables (ideally these should be organic). Cut into chunks and feed into the juicer. Alternating the ingredients will help prevent your juicer getting clogged up. Add the living green food into the juice and mix well with a fork to help dissolve the powder. If you are not used to fresh ginger, you may want to use less to begin with.
