For a 200 to 300 mL glass of juice:

– 3-4 cabbage leaves (pictured).

– Juice of a lemon .

– 1 apple cut with the skin.

– 1 piece of ginger .

– 1-2 celery stalks (or celery).

– 1 slice of pineapple (optional).

– A few mint leaves (optional)

– About 100 mL of water or coconut juice, you can also use 200 mL of water for a more liquid juice (for 2 people).

Preparation

– Wash all ingredients.

– Chop the celery, cabbage leaves, apple (remove the seeds, but not the skin) and ginger (1 part) into several parts.

– Put all the ingredients in a blender, adding half of the ingredients, then, after a few minutes, the other half, to avoid the blender clogging up.

– Stir well for a few minutes. This can take up to 5 minutes.

– Add, possibly, a little salt and pepper and cover with a little water if necessary, especially if the juice is not very liquid.

Posology

– Consume preferably 1 time a day in the morning or at lunch.

juice preservation

– One day, or about 12 hours (if kept refrigerated). Otherwise, use must be immediate.

Grades

– This juice, called green juice (green juice in English), is increasingly in fashion, it is used mainly by Hollywood stars and TV Globo soap opera actors with the aim of staying slim and fit. In 2014, a study showed particular interest in spinach juice for weight loss, read the study in detail here .

A famous American coffee chain, Starbucks, also started selling green juice in its various stores.

– The green juice is made from vegetables that give color to the drink (photo), and has an interesting detoxifying effect, with particular indication for maintaining or losing weight. It should be noted that the concept of “detoxification” is sometimes criticized by some doctors. In fact, from a scientific point of view, it is difficult to understand the exact mechanisms behind this concept, and some questions arise such as: which organ is involved in the process, the liver or the kidney? However, we can say that all the ingredients in this juice are healthy, starting with the cabbage, a leaf with a high nutritional power and used in the basic diet in many countries, such as Russia or the United States.

– There are several green juice recipes, many of which use cabbage leaves, because they are responsible for the detoxifying effect. In this recipe, we add ginger to improve the flavor, but it is possible to remove it.

– Like all juice, it should not be abused, otherwise there is a risk of diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems.
