If you want you may add honey and ice cubes. My friend who gave me the recipe said that if you make this in a juicer it tastes great!  As i dont have a juicer, i just blend everything. I dont strain the juice just drink everything first thing in the morning. My hubby gave up his coffee/tea since i started making this. :)

My friend Sapna who gave me this recipe said that this is an anti cancerous drink and this will make you glow! Thanks Sapna for this wonderful juice! :)

This juice is for the Light Meal event
