How to Make Green Juice, and Enjoy It

Juicing is insanely good for you and really not as challenging as you may think. Here are some reasons you should consume green juice, then continue on to learn how to make "Green Lemonade" a recipe from Natalia Rose that makes drinking your greens absolutely delicious.

Why You Should Get Some Green Juice in Your Life:
Fresh vegetable juice is the most live-enzyme rich thing you can consume.
Freshly extracted vegetable juice is the most easily absorbable form of nutrition available on the planet.
Consume the organic water, chlorophyll, and enzymes from the greens without having to eat huge heaps of greens
Nutrients you get from drinking juice freshly extracted from leafy greens include: calcium, iron, protein, magnesium, potassium, folate, and lots o' vitamins!
Barely any digestive energy is expended because the fiber is removed. The enzymes go straight to the cellular level and get to work cleansing your body.
Bottled juices have been pasteurized so all of the live enzymes are gone. Add this to my Recipe Box.

Instructions

1

Find a decent juicer. I have seen many a raw foodie recommend super expensive Breville juicers. I'm sure they are great, but for my purposes, I've been just fine using the cheap one I found at Target! Just make sure the mouth is large enough so you can fit whole fruits and veggies in there and that its relatively easy to clean.

Set up your juicer based on the instructions, plug it in, and get ready to go! Pick out the ingredients for your juice and wash them well.

Green Lemonade is incredibly good for you and has many different variations. Here is the basic recipe:
1 head romaine lettuce (substitute celery, or cucumber here)
5-6 Stalks Kale (spinach, collard greens, escarole-any leafy green will do)
1 lemon
1 apple

This part might scare you a little, but i swear you can do it. Put each ingredient in your juicer as is. Thats right, put that whole head of lettuce in if it fits. Throw that whole apple in there and follow it up with the lemon, peel and all! Go ahead, leave the peel on. No really, its okay. If you substitute oranges for lemons, which will be sweeter, then you MUST take the peel off. Lemons, however, can be juiced peel and all!

Pour your green juice into a glass and enjoy. Don't chug it. Sip slowly, enjoy the flavor.
