This juice is rocking! It all starts with Granny apples. They have that particular mix of acidity and sweetness when they are in the middle of their season. A good reason to make a fresh juice of them, moreover because apple juice is such a healthy drink when you are longing for something to replace that soft drink in the back of your mind. Your granny will groove on apple juice: it prevents and helps fight Alzheimer disease when consumed on a daily basis.
Scientific research shows that apple juice can boost the brain function because of its increased production of the essential neurotransmitter acetylcholine. “We anticipate that the day may come when foods like apples, apple juice and other apple products are recommended along with the most popular Alzheimer’s medications,” according to Thomas Shea, Ph.D., director of the UML Center for Cellular Neurobiology and Neurodegeneration Research. What are you waiting for?
But there is more to say about apple juice. It is very rich in antioxidants and we all know what that means; they help prevent the development of cancer, heart disease, they reduce high cholesterol levels, slow down the aging process and promote weight loss. Other benefits are a high content of riboflavin, thiamine, carotene, vitamin B6, biotin, folic acid and vitamin C. So let’s make that juice!
To spice it up and give it the character of a fancy cocktail I like to add ginger and lemon. You won’t long for a canned version after tasting the pureness of your own juiced- in- a- minute long drink.
TOOLS YOU NEED
- A juicer
- A sharp knife
INGREDIENTS
- 4 Granny apples
- Juice of 1 lemon
- A chunk of fresh ginger (about 1 inch)
THE MAKING OF…
Just juice all ingredients, shake it up, pour in your favorite glass, finish with a slice of apple or a sprig of mint and enjoy!

Good day!This was a really impressive post!
I come from milan, I was luck to search your topic in google
Also I obtain a lot in your theme really thanks very much i will come later
I think your site AND blog are great! I will send my friends to your sites to help them in their raw journey. I get many, many questions from curious people who think the raw life style is a bit strange. But they instinctively know that going raw will be good from them or at least they know that getting more raw fruits and veggies in them will help their overall general health.
Keep of the good work!
It is really nice to read you like my blog and site Rawjazz. Many thanks for your nice comment and referring your friends to me, they are all welcome. The more I can tell people about the benefits of raw food, the better! I too get a lot of reactions and questions from people who think eating raw is strange. When I just went raw, it wasn’t always easy to answer them with self confidence. I’m glad that your friends are aware of the advantages of adding more green to their diet: openness is a first step. One smoothie a day already makes such a difference! Marie-Claire
