Kale Cucumber Apple Juice | Simple Recipes

This Kale Cucumber Apple Juice recipe is very delicious. The cucumber cuts the strong flavor of the kale and the apple sweetens it just a little.

I was pleasantly surprised when I made this recipe this morning.

Kale is a superfood. I can’t say enough about it. I never liked kale before I started juicing so this is a big plus for me.

Cucumber is a good source of B vitamins and rehydrates the body. I hear cucumber is good for hangovers. If that’s the case this should be an excellent hangover cure.

Kale Cucumber Apple Juice – My Simple Recipes

Makes 20 ounces

• 3 kale leaves
• 1 large cucumber (I peel mine, unless organic)
• 1 apple (red delicious)

Selecting Kale for Juicing

• To enjoy the health benefits of kale you should look for kale with firm, deeply colored leaves and moist and firm stems.
• When you shop for kale it should be displayed in a refrigerated environment because warm temperatures will cause it to wilt. This will negatively affect its flavor.
• Never pick leaves that look wilted for your juicing recipes. The kale leaves should not show any signs of browning nor have small holes.
• The kale with smaller-sized leaves usually is more tender and have slightly better flavor than those with larger leaves.
• To store, place kale in a plastic storage bag removing as much of the air from the bag as possible.
• You can store it in the refrigerator for for up to 5 days.
• When you are juicing kale leaves you should however note that the longer the leaves are stored, the more bitter it will taste when you juice it.
• Always shop for kale that has been grown organically.
• Rinse kale leaves under cold running water. – Juicing Benefits Toolbox
