Hi guys welcome to Drinks Tube
I'm Danielle, I run a juice bar in London called Sprout Juicery
today I'm gonna show you how to make the ultimate green juice
it's the perfect tasty way to get all your vitamins and minerals to start your day - tastes fabulous
okay so first thing, you're gonna need a juicer
it's totally worthwhile you're gonna use it every single day they start from about 90 pounds
so first thing for the ultimate green juice we're gonna introduce some kale
so you just wanna grab a big handful of these leafy greens here
full of vitamin A which is great for the immune system, eyes, great skin
so what we'll do is turn the juicer on
toss that in here, now you're going to use a little bit of filtered water at the same time as you run it through
just so it doesn't get clogged
so you'll see here how much I'm actually running
through the juicer and you're only getting a little bit
so it's a great way to jam-pack a whole bowel of this veg
into one single juice
Next we're gonna throw in some spinach
so really really high in iron, great for your metabolism
and if your veggie or a vegan looking to fulfil that because it's
difficult to get that if you're not eating meat
so we'll toss that in, same thing as the kale
you're gonna use a lot of this
and you're only gonna get a little little bit of juice
juicing allows us to compact all of this and get one juice
it's a great way to get all the multivitamins and minerals
straight to the bloodstream
all the fibre is being removed, so it's also very gentle on the digestive sytem
so next we're gonna use broccoli, we're gonna use about two to three florets of this
broccoli is high high in vitamin C which is a powerful antioxidant, which is great for immune health
a lot of people don't know that you can actually juice the stalk
the stalk has more nutrients that actually the florets do
so that's great, we're gonna toss that in
okay so next is celery
very high in chloride which helps aid digestion
it also has a really nice peppery taste to it
so we're gonna take about three... two to three spears of this
depending on how much you really like the flavour
we'll toss this in
celery also gives you a lot of juice
so next we're gonna toss in some cucumber
cucumber has very very high water content as well which is great for hydration
toss that in here
this juice is gonna be a little bit intense so we like to add a little bit of apple
just to make it a little bit sweeter and more palatable
I usually use about one to one-and-a-half apples per serving
if you're new to green juices you may want to go a little bit heavier on the apple
next up is fennel
I love adding fennel to my juices, it has a fabulous aniseed or licorice flavour
fennel's also really really goody to help calm the digestive system
I use, maybe about a third of a bulb of fennel
give or take
and you can toss everything in, even the top bits there
so here we have some ginger
ginger is a super food, it is a powerful anti-inflammatory
it has a really really nice fiery kick to it
I use about
an inch, inch-and-a-half for juice - but I really like a nice kick so...
you don't need to peel the ginger you can just cut it and put it straight in
great so we're almost done with the ultimate green juice
last thing is lemon
lemon helps accentuate all the flavors, it also makes it a little bit easier on the taste
so I typically use about a quarter of a lemon for my one juice
but you can use as much as you like
you want to make sure that you're not using the skin, its gonna give a really really bitter taste
here we go - tossing in about a quarter of a lemon
great so we're all finished now we have our ultimate green juice here
looks a little bit intense, so what we're gonna do is
toss it in a jar with a little bit of ice - chill it down
you're going to want to use a strainer, just for the foamy bits to get that off
doesn't look too nice, doesn't taste too nice either
this is looking absolutely amazing I can't wait to drink this
this pulp here is just a little bit a fiber that passed through the juicer
so we're gonna strain that out
or else that would make a smoothie
perfect, so we're gonna pop a straw in it
here we go, you have your ultimate green juice
with this you're well on your way to satisfying your five-a-day
let's give it a try
amazing, I'm really really happy with this juice
it's a great way to start your day
the apple, the lemon, the ginger, makes it really really easy to drink
I really want you to try this at home, you're gonna love it
