Ingredients

2 bunches kale can use curly or dinosaur kale; rinsed and dried
4 carrots tops removed and scrubbed
1 cucumber washed
2 Granny smith apples roughly chopped, core removed
2 inch piece ginger can leave the skin on
1 lemon washed; can leave the skin on

Instructions

Wash and dry all produce.
Turn the juicer on high. Push each vegetable or fruit through the opening at the top, one at a time. Don't juice an entire bunch of kale at once. Instead, wrap a few leaves of kale with your hands before pushing them through, to make sure they don't get clogged.
When you are finished juicing, turn off the juicer, and use a wire whisk to stir the juice. Pour into two pint glasses. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Please note the amount of fiber in this recipe is likely a lot lower than the amount listed in the nutrition facts below. This is because the nutrition calculator does not take into account the removal of fiber in a juicer.
