4 carrots, topped, tailed and chopped
2 tsp spirulina powder, stirred into juice
A sweet apple and carrot juice with spirulina stirred in. The spirulina turns it deep green and adds an earthy taste.
Makes: about 2 glasses (around 500ml). Prep: 10 minutes.
How to make it
- Core the apples and cut them into quarters, or drop them in whole if your juicer takes whole fruit.
- Top and tail the carrots.
- Juice the apples and carrots.
- Stir or shake in the spirulina powder until smooth.
Tips and swaps
Spirulina doesn't go through the juicer, so add it at the end. Start with 1 teaspoon if you're new to the taste. A small whisk or a shaker bottle stops it going lumpy.
Which Fridja juicer to use
The f2800 Open Whole Fruit Juicer takes whole apples, so there's almost no chopping. The f2500 Self Feeding Whole Fruit Juicer works well too.
Storing it
Best drunk fresh. It keeps in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir it before drinking.
