Juice Recipe: Grapefruit, cucumber and lemon with kale
There are juices that refuse labels. Their complex flavor, their unique lace and the unexpected combination of different fruits and vegetables show them as deceivingly complex despite being easy to make.
In this recipe, the usual ingredients for a green juice are infused with citric tones lead by the grapefruit and earthy hints thanks to the kale.
You will impress those presented with this juice. Go on, take credit for its creation.
The unique tartness of grapefruit encounters the familiar backbone of cucumber and celery, which combined with the kale and cilantro, refuse to frame the juice into a single category.
The expected green color and texture of the herby juice is enveloped by a light pink hue, which also bring some pulp into the mix.
Impressively fulfilling as breakfast, but equally capable as a late afternoon juice.
