I can’t say enough good things about this refreshing green juice recipe. I’ve made a few different green juices since getting my juicer last year and some have turned out okay and others… not so okay. This version, is the green juice to end all green juices though! The sweet, tartness of the green apple and kiwi perfectly complement and balance out the bitterness of the veggies.
I know I’m a little late to be jumping on the juicing bandwagon, especially since I’ve had my juicer for well over a year now. Its shameful, I know… but I’m lazy and late with every fad so it was highly predictable that I’d be a late comer to the green juice train too.
Late or not, I am absolutely in love with this crisp green concoction. I’ve made it twice in the past week (which is a lot for me since I’ve never been a big juicer). I also never thought a confession of undying love for anything liquid would come out of my hearty breakfast lovin’ mouth, but seriously, this juice is so good!
Between me and the husband, I was the reluctant party in getting a juicer in the first place too. It seemed like one more useless kitchen appliance. Don’t get me wrong, I’m normally totally all over that kind of thing and have more random kitchen apparatuses than any one person realistically needs, but the juicer just seemed kind of ‘meh’ to me. Not totally opposed, but not interested in the slightest.
Luckily, my husband was some kind of psychic genius on that one (read: wanted a juicer for himself), because it was wrapped up under the tree come Christmas morning with my name on it. Go figure.
Between this green juice nectar of the gods and carrot orange juice godsend, I might just give up store bought juices once and for all. Ooh, and I haven’t even gotten to the best part – its a great mixer for mimosas!
