the Green Juice

What I love most about a homemade green juice is that it's so unapologetically to the point. There's a little fuss with preparing the veggies + fruit and a bit of muss to clean up afterwards but a green juice and its flavor never try to be anything other than what it is - a 'Living' alkaline elixir of blended greens and roots and citrus...

             

And in keeping to the point, our little family has been juicing daily/every other day and it's about time I give ya the juicy juice blend:

3 collard leaves

3-4 kale leaves (lacinto or curly kale)

3 celery stalks

1/2-1 bunch parsley

1/2 fennel + stem

1 large cucumber

1 green apple or anjou pear 

1 red or golden beet

1 lemon

ginger root, peeled and to taste
