Recipe by Maranda Engelbrecht Okay, fine, you've never heard of baobab—but that's about to change. (Remember when no one knew how to pronounce quinoa?) You'll find the powder from the tangy superfruit stocked at the health food store.

Ingredients

1 small green cabbage, outer leaves removed, cut into thin wedges
1 medium fennel bulb, cored, cut into quarters
2 green apples, halved
4 celery stalks
1 lemongrass stalk, tough outer layers removed, root end trimmed (pale-green parts only)
1 2" piece ginger, peeled
2 teaspoons baobab powder (optional)

Instructions

Pass cabbage, fennel, apples, celery, lemongrass, and ginger through a juicer. Transfer juice to an airtight container; cover and chill until cold.
Just before serving, add baobab powder to juice and stir until dissolved. Divide juice among glasses.
