ginger ale: "the best ever"

David Wolfe says that the best way to start eating in a healthy way is to "add to" one's diet, and to simply eat what tastes and feels good--"the best food ever."
Well, today, I started my adventure in juicing by making myself a healthy version of my favorite soft drink, Ginger Ale.
Here's the recipe, and the LINK.
Lemon~Lime Ginger Ale
(Serves 1)
1 apple, cored and sliced
1/4 lemon
1/2 inch fresh ginger (less if you find the taste too strong)
1/2 lime
handful of grapes (I used green)
sparkling mineral water
-----------------------------------
Remove the grapes from the stem. Juice the apple and ginger together, then juice the rest of the fruit. Pour the juice in a large glass and fill to the top with sparkling water and serve with ice.
(I use a whole lemon and a whole lime and a bit more ginger, and I did not use mineral water. I did pour it over ice and add about 1/2 c. non-tap water.)
WHO KNEW HEALTHY COULD BE SO DELICIOUS???!!!
