Notes
Filtering the juice will remove the fibre, try drinking this juice as a smoothie when you are in a hurry. Ginger adds great flavour but adding too much can overpower. Start with a small amount and add more to the blend after you have tried it. This blend can easily be doubled in the Vitamix 64 ounce containers.
