Green Probiotic Turbocharger Juice

Ditch the coffee and get a natural high with this ginger beer-esque, wake-me-up concoction! Probiotics are an important part of a healthy diet. 

Lactobacillus bacteria form a significant part of the natural intestinal flora. Large populations of this and other lactic acid-producing bacteria regulate the levels of friendly or “good” bacteria and reduce the levels of toxic pathogens.

The potential benefits of having more fermented probiotic foods in our diet include improved immune function, better digestion (leading to better energy), reduced bloating and reduced personal contributions to the greenhouse effect.

Juice the following in a cold-press juicer or any other kind of juicer you have:

---

• 1 bunch of kale
• 2 organic carrots
• 1 lime
• A thumb of ginger
• A tiny bit of fresh turmeric (if you’re feeling adventurous)
• 1 apple

Dilute the green juice with 1/2 cup water, add stevia to sweeten, then throw in a shot of grain-fermented probiotic – I like Grainfield’s Lemon & Ginger – to stabilise gut flora. This is the ultimate “health nut” drink that tastes like ginger beer and gives your body tonnes of fabulous enzymes, good bacteria and overall zest! You could also add probiotic liquids to smoothies - you don;t have to do juice if you hate the stuff :)
