Ingredients

The Key Ingredients for the Yummiest Juice:

• 1-2 celery stalks: Think of celery as the quiet hero. It's hydrating, low in sugar, and brings a fresh, crisp taste.

• 1 cucumber: Cucumbers are like the cool kids of the veggie world. They add a refreshing zing and help mellow out stronger flavors.

• Half a lemon: Here's your zesty sidekick. Lemons add a tangy punch and are great for digestion and skin health.

• Half an apple: Apples are the sweet diplomats. They negotiate peace between the tartness of lemon and the earthiness of greens.

• About 5 oz. of mixed greens: The backbone of your green juice. They're packed with vitamins and minerals but need their fellow ingredients to disguise their 'green' taste.

Make it All Yours: Optional Green Juice Adds-ins

• Carrots: Sweet and earthy. They're like adding a wholesome, rooty depth to the mix.

• Beets: These guys are the sweet, earthy underdogs. Plus, they turn your juice into a funky pink color, which is always a plus.

• Cabbage: It's subtle and adds body to your juice without overpowering it.

• Pineapple: If your juice was a tropical vacation, pineapple would be the beach.

• Pear: The sweet, soft-spoken cousin of the apple. It's like adding a whisper of sugar without going overboard.

• Kiwis: They're like little tangy bombs that explode with flavor and Vitamin C.

• Spirulina: The overachiever of superfoods—just a pinch adds a deep green hue, a punch of protein, and serious ocean vibes.

• Wheat grass: Like taking a shot of the sun. It's grassy, bold, and packed with nutrients—definitely not for the faint of palate, but your cells will thank you.

Green Juice Essentials: Tools for the Mission

• A sturdy juicer: You need something that can handle the Hulk-smash of juicing. The Breville 'The Juice Fountain' isn't just a juicer; it's a legend.

• A lemon squeezer: Unless you enjoy a surprise seed or two in your drink – then, by all means, skip this.

• Knife and cutting board: Because trying to juice a whole cucumber is a comic tragedy waiting to happen.

• Sink: For washing your veggies and fruits. Because 'au naturel' doesn't include dirt and pesticides.

• Two 8 oz. cups: One for you, and one for that friend or special someone who always says they don't like green juice.
