3 Recipes - For Every Level of Green Juice Drinker

Beginner Green Juice 
Green, but not too green!
1 cucumber
5 stalks of celery
Big handful of spinach (3-4 ounces or 2/3 of a bunch)
1 small apple (or 1/2 large)
1/8 pineapple
Handful of mint

Directions: Wash the cucumber, celery, spinach, and mint well. Core the apple and cut into pieces that will fit in your juicer. Top and tail the pineapple, cut the peeling away and cut into pieces that are juicer ready. Cut off long stems from mint. Run everything through your juicer and enjoy! Or, use a vitamix and get all of the yummy fiber! 

Intermediate Green Juice
A bit greener with less fruit
1 cucumber
2 medium carrots
3 stalks of celery
4-5 kale leaves
1/8 pineapple
Handful of cilantro (optional)

Directions: Wash the cucumber, celery, kale, and cilantro well. Top and tail the carrots and pineapple. Wash the carrots well and cut into juicer sized pieces. Cut the peeling away from the pineapple and cut into pieces that will fit through juicer. Cut off long stems from cilantro. Run everything through your juicer, scrape off foam (if desired) and enjoy! Again, using the Vitamix, you can just toss everything in, as is (after washing) and in 30 seconds you'll have a yummy snack!

Advanced Green Juice
Super green,!
1 cucumber
3 romaine leaves
3 stalks of celery
2 collard green leaves
½ lemon, cut into 1/4s
handful of parsley

Directions: Wash the cucumber, celery, romaine leaves, collard leaves, and parsley well. Cut the long stems from the parsley. If you want to add a little lemon to cut the greenness, cut the peel off a lemon and slice in half. Run everything through your juicer and enjoy! Again, using the Vitamix, just toss it all in and presto: a day's worth of greens in one swoop!
