Green Juice

[AussieLady 521]

I have been reading about the benefits of green juices with regards to weight loss and health. Does anyone have any good recipes?

[SerendipityHappens 1,594]

1 cucumber

4 celery ribs

1/2 lemon (peel it with a vegetable peeler and leave as much of the white on as possible)

1/4-1/2" slice of ginger (start small)

1 granny smith apple or other tart, low GI apple

3-10 kale leaves (Start with 3 and increase as your tastebuds and belly get used to drinking green juice)

Tastes kind of like a grassy lemonade.

Also tastes good with an orange added

Here is another recipe.. this is my 5 year old nephew's recipe for "spiderman juice" It has less green and more sweet in it and is a good beginner juice.. personally I don't like it very much, but my nephew makes it every day by himself and he and my sister LOVE it.

1 green apple

1 orange

3 carrots

1/2 of small beet (peeled)

2 handfulls of spinach

2 kale leaves..(or as he likes to call it.. "the super secret ingredient")

Thanks. I will try them both. Made one of my own today but it was horrible. I obviously need to add some fruit to sweeten the green veg.s.
