Green Juice everyone! It’s not that hard to incorporate into your daily routine. We tend to focus on calories and carbs without giving much thought to the nutrients in our food. We need a ton of Leafy Green Vegetables. The micronutrients and phytonutrients in these plants are the raw materials we need to stay healthy.
We got our Juice Recipe from Kris Carr, one of our favorite wellness gurus. A week’s worth of organic veggies for juicing (for two people) comes to about $30.
- Kale – A big handful
- One Cucumber (peel if it is not organic),
- Broccoli Stem (Save the Florets for eating, they will muck up the juicer)
- Romaine – A big handful
- Two Celery Stalks
- Ginger – Small piece
- Parsley – Small handful
Add a half of green apple in the beginning, if the juice seems too bitter. You can experiment with other greens and use whatever you have leftover in the fridge.
Granted, you may not love the taste at first. But, really quickly it becomes very neutral. Who liked the taste of beer the first time they had it?!?
We both have a Breville Juicer. It’s $200 on Amazon. It is the most used appliance in the kitchen.
Happy Juicing!
