Im not much of a juice person, I don’t own a juicer and occasionally ill borrow my sister’s juicer buy a whole bunch veggies and juice a whole lot of produce. I love a good green juice, it just makes you feel so alive.
Normally I prefer blending my greens into a smoothie, green smoothies are wholesome and retain all the fiber. Juice is extracted hence has no fiber, they do have a good concentration of nutrients because a lot more produce is needed to make juice, which also means if you’re using more fruit one is getting a lot more sugar. Sure fruit is natural, but sugar is sugar. For this reason I prefer fresh green produce. This juice is packed with loads of nutrients and has a bright earthy taste from grassy kale, zesty lemon plus hydrating cucumbers. If you enjoy juice and don’t want to pay a fortune at a juice bar try this recipe. If you don’t have a juicer, you could blend it in a upright blender and strain it though a nut mesh or cheese cloth.
