Juice Recipe: Apple, kale and cucumber
This recipe is as simple as they come but somehow, it seems – and tastes – like you are an expert at juicing without even trying.
It is not magic, not even craft, it is just that sometimes the simple gives way to the wonderful; like skipping a stone on a lake or noticing how blue the sky is.
That is the essence of this recipe. Four simple ingredients, easy to juice, easier to enjoy. Solid and reliable, and yet, a wonder if you ponder about it.
You see, kale is an extraordinary thing just raw and even more interesting in juice form. The color, the taste, the benefits…
Yes, simple things can indeed be wonderful.
Reliable and predictable juice recipe with just four well known ingredients.
But that is not all of it. The kale, surprisingly, is a very interesting leafy green in juice form, contributing in taste, appearance and nutrition like few leafy greens can.
Its waxy texture translates into a very silky, almost buttery liquid with a beautiful deep, dark green, almost turquois.
The sugar and sourness of the other ingredients help balance the peppery tones of the kale, which makes it easy to consume such nutrition plant, at any time.
