Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g carrots scrubbed, tops removed, cut into sticks
  • 1 large cucumber washed, cut into lengths
  • 1 green apple cored, pips removed, cut into wedges
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger scrubbed and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 lemon peeled, pips removed

Equipment

  • Any Sana juicer
  • Chopping board and knife
  • Measuring jug

Method
 

  1. Scrub the carrots and cucumber under running water. Core the apple and remove the pips, and peel the lemon and take out its pips.
  2. Cut everything to fit your juicer. On the Sana 878, cut pieces to fit the hopper and load carrot, cucumber and apple mixed together rather than carrots alone. On a horizontal Sana, cut the carrots into sticks.
  3. Juice the ginger between pieces of carrot, then alternate carrot, cucumber and apple. Finish with the lemon.
  4. Stir and pour. Measure the juice in a jug once if you want to work out your cost per glass.

Notes

Makes about 650 ml. Swap the apple for an orange, or add a stick or two of celery cut into 3 to 4 cm pieces.
