Ginger...oh my!

I have never been a big fan of ginger.  I prefer fake ginger ales to the kinds that taste like the real deal.  Candied ginger? No thanks!!!  However, I do love a fine piece of gingerbread any day of the week.

So tonight, I was inspired to try adding ginger to a juice.  I chose a plain apple and carrot juice to start with, thinking it would pair nicely.  Afterwards, I added some cinnamon and some chia seeds.  The rest of the family agreed...SKIP the chia seeds next time!  But the spiciness of this juice was perfect.

The first two slivers of ginger I cut were too small, and zipped right into the waste container.  I cut a slightly larger piece and it was a perfect amount.  It yielded maybe 3-4 drops of juice into the container.  I would definitely make this juice again!

2 Granny Smith Apples
4 Carrots
1/8th" Ginger
Dash Cinnamon
(4 Tablespoons of Chia seeds to be omitted next time ;) )
Served over ice

This recipe was a combination of my own ideas with inspiration from "The Complete Book of Juicing" by Michael T. Murray.
