You will need:

this will make 1 -2 servings as a juice or 2-3 servings as a smoothie

• a few drops of cold pressed raw extra virgin flaxseed oiL

• Core and chop the apples or peel oranges. Cut or peel the skin of the lemon and cut into 4s. Scrub and cut the ginger and turmeric root, and rough chop the kale.
• if you have a juicer run all the ingredients through the juicer starting with the turmeric and water & lemon last. The acid in the lemon will clean the stain out. Drink right away or store n a clean jar or bottle refrigrated up to a day.
• If you don’t have a juicer no worries! blend it in a high speed blender like Ninja or Vitamix. Strain it through a cheese cloth or I like to drink it as a smoothie to get all the benefits of whole fruits and veggies.
• If you are worried about the turmeric staining your equipment. Add ground turmeric after the juice is extracted and stir well.
