Hope everyone's 2018 is off to a good start! With the long weekend, I had a little time to catch up on some things I'd had on my list to do forever, including getting back into juicing. I used to use my juicer regularly, and then totally fell away from it the last few years.
I had a lot of greens in the fridge this weekend, though, and thought it would be a good opportunity to try out making a green juice. Green juice just instantly makes me feel healthy. A mason jar of this in my bag tomorrow seems like a good way to transition back to work after a three-day weekend with a little extra energy, right?
Green Juice
Adapted from a couple of recipes in The Juicing Bible, second edition
Four servings
3 apples, cored
6 stalks celery
8 sprigs parsley*
3-4 handfuls of spinach
1 bunch of kale (about 6-8 stalks)
Turn on juicer before adding any ingredients. Once juicer is running, add in all ingredients.
Juice can be stored in a container (mason jars work well) for several days in the refrigerator. Add in still or sparking water for a less intense flavor.
* Please note that parsley should be avoided during pregnancy or in causes of kidney inflammation
