Heather's Helpful Hints
- Adjusting Sweetness: If you have a sweet tooth, I'd recommend adding agave nectar to your juice once you're finished.
- Optional Ingredients: Add a one-inch piece of fresh ginger for an added kick of flavor. Add one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to reap some additional health benefits.
- Prepping Ingredients: It's important to wash everything thoroughly before making your juice.
