Green Juice

I was so excited when my husband gave me a juicer for Christmas. I have always wanted one but never committed. Since Christmas I have been trying to juice everyday and WOW do I love it!I wanted to quickly share the recipe I have been using because it is easy and tastes good too! I will write more later on why I chose juicing and the benefits I am seeing. 

This is my go-to bunch!

First I get all my produce out and wash it. Be sure to read your juicer's manual to see how they recommend preparing the items. My juicer is pretty heavy duty and it says I can throw whole apples in but I need to take the rind off my orange. 

 

 Isn't she beautiful!

 

This recipe yields about one 8oz glass of juice.

 

 

• One handful of kale
• One handful of spinach
• 1-2 sprigs of parsley
• 2 slices of ginger root
• 1/2 a cucumber
• 1 apple (I prefer Granny Smith)
• 1 orange
• 2-3 whole carrots 

 Now this is just a basic recipe, I have also added banana, mango, pineapple, and broccoli stems. Keep it simple and fresh, I enjoy using fruits and vegetables that are in season. As I experiment more I will add new recipes. Happy New Year!
