Recipe: Grapefruit, kale, nopal, ginger and maca juice

1. First, as usual, we must wash our hands, the appliances, the knife and the ingredients. Here we should pay special attention to the washing of kale, as it may hide a lot of dirt and bacteria.
2. Then, we proceed to peel and remove the seeds from the grapefruit, remove the layer of spines from the nopal and cut the little piece of ginger.
3. Next, put all the ingredients in the blender and process them until there’re no large solid remains. If you use a juicer, you can add the maca powder at the end and leave out the cup of water.
4. Finally, serve and enjoy this wonderful drink.
