FOOD+NUTRITION
Six amazing entrepreneurs, chefs, and creators who have made a delicious contribution to the Memphis food scene share their favorite healthy recipes. By Quavisa Henderson
Juicing can be a wonderful way of getting more nutrients. If you’re just starting out, the first thing you need is a juicer. There are three kinds of machines: centrifugal (fast), masticating (slow), and cold-press. All come at different price points with pros and cons. Find your preference! Cucumbers and celery are a great place to start to incorporate the benefits of green juice. Both are packed with water, making them excellent candidates for juicing. Green apple adds tons of sweetness and fruity flavor. This recipe is super refreshing, hydrating, and easy to make!
