Start Your Day With Green Lemonade!

      A great start to your day!  Proper hair care starts in the kitchen.  This green juice nourishes your cells from the inside out, tastes great, and gives you a natural buzz unlike a morning java fix.  I love to drink this before my kundalini or bikram yoga practice along with a spoonful of coconut cream.  This beverage will make you glow!  -Miranda Hunt 

Green Lemonade (Serves 2)

2 cups of filtered water

2 organic granny smith apples, cut into 6 pieces each

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

A thumb sized piece of ginger

1 tumeric rhizome (Found in Indian & Asian markets and some Whole Foods.  If not available, substitute 1 teaspoon ground tumeric.  Make sure it's fresh as ground spices quickly lose their vitality.)

2 cups of kale, packed

1 8" piece of burdock root, scrubbed (Burdock is a great blood purifier.) 

Place the above ingredients in a high speed blender and buzz until everything is homogeneous and smooth.  Pass juice through a strainer squeezing out as much liquid from the pulp as possible. Serve in glasses with ice if desired and a glass or metal straw to keep it natural. Enjoy!
