One evening, I was feeling hungry and a little nutrient deprived. I came up with this satisfying green juice which packs a healthy 200 mcg of folate, about 50% of our daily requirement (or a quarter of a pregnant woman's requirement.) Even my husband loved it. Don't worry if you do not own a juicer, blending the ingredients in a blender and straining the liquid through a nut milk bag works just as well.

Ingredients (Makes about 20 ounces, serves 2)

• 1 large cucumber, peeled
  
  
• 3 ounces fresh baby spinach
  
  
• 1/2 small lemon, peeled
  
  
• A generous chunk of ginger
  
  
• 2 fuji apples

Directions

Run all the ingredients through a juicer, or blend and strain the liquid through a nut milk bag.
