Method
- Wash all produce thoroughly. Peel the lemon to keep the juice bright (lemon peel can add bitterness in larger amounts).
- Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise and the apples into halves. The Nama J2 and Hurom H320N hoppers take generous pieces — no fine chopping required.
- Load the hopper in this order, softest first: mint leaves and sage leaves, then the peeled lemon, then the ginger root, then the cucumber pieces, and finally the apple.
- Stir the finished juice once. Pour into a glass and drink within 20 minutes for maximum nutrient activity, or store in a tightly sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to 72 hours.

Notes
Juicing order for this recipe: soft and leafy ingredients (mint and sage) go in first, then lemon, then ginger, then cucumber, then apple. The denser produce that follows presses through the auger after the softer items and pushes more juice out of them — that's how you get maximum yield from herbs, greens, and lighter ingredients.
I use both the Nama J2 and Hurom H320N cold press juicers. Use discount code RAWFOODFEAST to save on both top-notch brands.
