Green power in a glass—that's what this Greenish Stout delivers. This recipe combines lemon, kale, celery, apples, ginger, coconut oil, fennel, turmeric, and basil to create a potent green juice with immense healing and detoxifying properties. The turmeric helps create the foam and provides the stout-like froth along with a pleasant, slightly spicy taste.

This recipe calls for a slow juice extraction method that gently extracts juice from the pulp to avoid oxidation. This way, you get pure juice that can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, though it's recommended that you drink your juice fresh for maximum benefits. Drink it slowly, swirling it in your mouth to mix it with your saliva, which starts the digestion process.

This booster juice has a mellow, sweet, and tangy flavor, with the coconut oil adding extra smoothness. Many ask: what's the difference between a slow-squeezing juice extractor and a high-speed centrifuge juice extractor? The slow juice extractor spins at 80 revolutions per minute, squeezing the juice out using a screw-type press. A centrifuge juicer uses spin speed to extract the liquid after shredding at 3,600 rpm, which causes much more oxygen to be absorbed into the juice, leading to rapid separation and oxidation. It's best to use a slow juicer extractor to prevent rapid oxidation and separation, as less oxygen is infused into the juice.

Enjoy this simple juice recipe and watch your body feel brand new!

Nutritional Benefits: Celery is a potent green food that provides powerful antioxidants such as flavonoids, beta-carotene, vitamin C, and phytonutrients that help reduce inflammation in blood vessels, gut, cells, and organs. Celery is also an alkaline food rich in minerals such as iron, magnesium, and sodium that neutralize acidic foods. It ranks low on the glycemic index, making it excellent for maintaining stable blood sugar levels. Fennel bulb is rich in vitamin C, which fuels immunity, collagen production, and muscle tissue repair. It also contains manganese that boosts metabolism, supports healthy bone development, activates enzymes, aids wound healing, and helps lower blood sugar. Fennel also provides potent plant compounds that deliver anti-inflammatory benefits.
