A Palate-Pleasing Pear Lemon Ginger Juice
By Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND
A green juice, like this one, is always a winner because it contains high amounts of minerals including magnesium, calcium, manganese and iron. They’re also loaded with vitamins such as vitamin K and B, and when you include lemons you’re getting a healthy dose of vitamin C . The pears are high in soluble fiber (learn more about fiber in juice) so this mix can be quite filling and very satisfying.
