Detox juice, serves 1

INGREDIENTS:

4 large carrots (chopped, greens removed)

1 inch of fresh ginger (peeled)

1 inch of fresh turmeric root (peeled)

2 granny smith apples (lightly peeled, cored and quartered)

1 clove of garlic

1 bunch of kale (stalks removed)

3 navel or valencia oranges (peeled)

2 teaspoon of cannabis-infused glycerin tincture (add more or less depending on the patients medicinal needs)

PREPARATIONS:

To begin, rinse and clean the carrots, apples and kale.

Cut the ends off of the carrots. Leave them unpeeled and slice the carrots into chunks that will fit in a juicer.

Next, lightly peel and then chop the apples and remove the core. Add the chopped pieces into the machine.

Then, remove the stalks from the kale, and proceed to add the leafy greens to the juicer.

Peel the skin and pith off the oranges and add them to the juicer.

Next, add the garlic, peeled ginger and peeled turmeric to the juicer.

Turn the juicer on and blend to a smooth consistancy.

Finally, add the two teaspoons of cannabis tincture to the collection cup and stir the juice to ensure everything is thoroughly combined.

If you find the juice is too spicy from the ginger/turmeric, feel free to add another orange and/or carrot to sweeten it up, or even some water to dilute it.

Serve in a mason jar or glass and enjoy the medicated benefits of this special healing blend.
