Superfood – Guava & Ginger juice recipe

by Fafa GilbertLeave a Comment on Superfood – Guava & Ginger juice recipe

Walking into my local grocer I saw these ripened Guavas and all I could think of was juicing them. I researched the health benefits of Guavas and I was impressed with the outcome especially knowing it contained 4 times the amount of Vitamin C in comparison to an Orange.

To make my now favourite juice you’ll need the following ingredients;

INGREDIENTS

2 large ripened Guavas
20g of normal Mint leaves or 5 Chocolate Mint leaves
10g of Ginger
1 optional tablespoonful of Honey or any sweetener of your choosing
A pinch of Pink Himalayan Salt
500ml of Water
