1 lime
1/2 grapefruit
1 small Golden Delicious apple
100 ml cranberry and blackberry juice
3 strawberries
100 ml Solán de Cabras water
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Preparation: Squeeze the lime juice and add the grapefruit and then pour into the blender. Add the chopped banana, the apples, strawberries and celery. Blend everything thoroughly until you get a homogeneous mixture. To finish, add the cranberry juice together with the Solán de Cabras. Blend everything again and then add the ginger.
