Use some of your winter leaves to make a nutrient-filled green juice. Make up your own mixtures always using some sweet, green apple to counter nutritious but bitter winter lettuce or kale.
Green juice
For 1 large glass you will need:
6 carrots
2 green apples
Handful of kale
1/2 lemon
Small knob of ginger
Put all of your ingredients through a juicer, sandwiching the kale between the two apples to help it along. Pour into a glass and drink straight away.
