Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Serve the juice immediately after preparation, either at room temperature or over ice. It works well alongside breakfast, brunch, a sandwich, or a light salad. Add a squeeze of lemon immediately before serving for extra freshness.Recipe Notes
Alternate the spinach with carrot pieces while juicing because the firmer carrots help push the leafy vegetables through the machine. Fresh juice separates naturally, so stir it before drinking. The recipe contains less fibre than eating the whole vegetables.Variations
Add fresh ginger, lemon, orange, apple, cucumber, celery, parsley, or mint. Apple and orange make the juice sweeter, while lemon and ginger provide a sharper flavour. Additional fruit will also increase its natural sugar content.Storage
Freshly prepared juice is best consumed immediately. If necessary, refrigerate it in a clean airtight bottle for no longer than 24 hours. Fill the bottle almost completely to reduce contact with air and shake it before serving.Wine Advice
Wine is unnecessary with this fresh vegetable juice. When serving it as part of a larger brunch, a crisp Sauvignon Blanc can accompany the food served alongside it rather than being mixed with the juice.Nutrition values
