There are many variations of this green juice recipe that you may want to try - almost every book on the subject of diet and nutrition gives some version of this green cocktail. Green juices are unbelievably good for you, so good, in fact, that we should all be drinking them daily in the morning, instead of the coffee or milk. They are great immune system boosters.
So, if you are willing to try a great juicing recipe for green vegetables and kale that will give you lots of energy, here it is. This is a recipe for a delicious green juice with apples and lemon:
Simple version:
1 head romaine lettuce or celery
5-6 leaves of kale (you can add some other greens too, such as spinach, dandelion, or parsley)
1-2 apples or pears (green apples are less sweet, more tart)
1 lemon (not peeled)
Additional/optional ingredients:
1 cucumber
1 cup of spinach leaves
1/4 to 1/2 ripe Hawaiian papaya (1/2 results in a sweeter juice)
1 handful of cilantro or parsley (or both for deeper green juice)
1 handful of fennel (stalk can be used too)
You may also like to add some beets or carrots, but then of course it will no loger be a green juice. Some people like to add small slice of garlic and/or ginger.
Drink to your health and boost your immune system!
