Nearly everyone has some form of inflammation due to toxins we take in from processed foods and other elements in our environment. Turmeric is a superfood for combating inflammation. Ginger soothes the digestive system, celery balances the body’s ph levels, cucumber promotes hydration, spinach is iron-rich, and lemon adds vitamin C and flavor. Optional cayenne tincture adds more spice and is known to improve metabolism.

I N G R E D I E N T S

About 1 cup roughly chopped turmeric root (no need to peel)

About 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh ginger root (no need to peel)

6 stalks celery, cut in large chunks

2 cucumbers (no need to peel)

1 cup spinach

1 lemon

Optional: 2 drops cayenne tincture

  1. Using a juicer or high-powered blender, add all ingredients and process to liquid.

  2. If using a blender, you will need to filter the puree through a fine sieve into a large bowl, gently stirring the puree in the sieve until most most of the liquid has seeped into the bowl.

  3. If using a juicer, you still may prefer to filter the juice using a fine sieve to reduce pulp from the ginger.

  4. Keep juice refrigerated. This juice is best to drink within 2 days.
