Health benefits of lettuce, spinach and kiwi juice

Lettuce, Spinach and Kiwi Green Juice Recipe
As with all homemade juices, we have two options. We can make it with a blender, since we will obtain a more uniform result. A liquid drink and very pleasant in texture; or, if we do not have a blender, we can do it with a mixer, although it is less advisable. Because the blender does not extract the juices from the ingredients we use. And, when straining the result, we will lose great part of the flavor, since it is only going to grind the ingredients, not to extract its juice as the blender does.
Regarding the spinach, use the most tender and smallest spinach you can find, the ones used for salads, since they are the ones that will give the best result.
Once this has been clarified, the recipe is as simple as blending all the ingredients, together with the water, and letting it cool well before serving. This is how simple and quick it is to prepare this green juice of lettuce, spinach and kiwi.
