A small glass of diluted spinach juice
A handful of spinach, blended with water and a squeeze of lemon, makes one small diluted glass. It is not a cleanse, and it is not a promise that weight will change.
A small diluted glass of spinach
Spinach is a leafy vegetable for the plate. A small glass of its juice, diluted so it is easy to sip, is only another way to take a little of that leaf with lemon. It does not wash the body, and it does not stand in for lunch.
Keep the glass small. A tall tumbler of plain green juice is not this habit. People who have been told to limit spinach, and anyone whose stomach cramps after a raw green drink, should stay with cooked spinach instead.
Ingredients
- A handful of washed spinach leaves
- Half a lemon
- A glass of water to dilute the juice
How to prepare
- Blend the spinach with the water until smooth, then strain if the pulp feels too thick.
- Stir in the lemon juice and pour only a small glass.
How to use
- Drink one small glass with a meal or soon after it, not as a day of only juice.
- Dilute it. Do not drink it as a thick shot.
- Return to ordinary food for the rest of the day.
Helpful habits
- Wash the leaves in plenty of water so grit does not end up in the glass.
- If the colour or taste puts you off, eat the spinach cooked in dal instead of forcing the juice.
Precautions
- This is not a cleanse and not a promise of weight change.
- Keep it small and diluted. Stop if you feel cramps, nausea, or a very cold stomach.
- If a doctor has asked you to limit spinach, skip the juice. Do not use it to replace meals.
