Now, I know what you are thinking: Green Veggie juice in the morning. Yuck! But hey, it's better for you then coffee, which to me is Yuck!About two weeks ago we decided to start drinking Green Juice for our morning pick-me-up after reading "Crazy, Sexy, Diet" by Kris Carr. We were just going to give it a try and see how it goes.
Wowie Kazoie! I feel so alert and energetic first thing in the morning. This must be why everyone is addicted to coffee.
We are incorporating this juice into our morning routine. The kids even drink it. Blake (7) even notices a difference when he drinks it.
Give it a try and see what you think.
Green Juice
This recipe makes almost 32 oz.
-2 large cucumbers (peeled if not organic)
-Big fist full of kale or romaine
-Big fist full of sweet pea sprouts (we use mung bean sprouts)
-4-5 stalks celery
-1-2 big broccoli stems
-1-2 pears or green apples (optional, but oh, so helpful in sweetening it up)
*Other optional greens we love: spinach, parsley
Yummy! Thanks for the cucumber idea. I haven't tried that yet. I agree with you on the spinach & parsley, too. We change it up sometimes by added either avocado for creaminess or kefir for a little tang. I balance the kefir out with a handful of grapes.
