We’ve discussed the juicing craze a bit before – including the benefits behind it and the pros/cons that come with the hype.
Whether you’re curious about juice or you’re already hard-core this juice will become your new favorite green juice. It’s refreshing and a little sweet. The apple is key to balancing out all the veggies! And, the lemon/lime combo add a hint of citrusy spring flavor.
I especially recommend this recipe to those who have trouble with salad-like, pungent juices.
I know a lot of people who juice first thing in the morning. I tend to enjoy my juice mid morning or for an afternoon snack. (I still love my morning coffee, nut butter and occasional muffin…I’m human.) Either way this juice is a nice compliment to lunch or as a tasty stand-alone snack.
(Makes 1 large serving, or 2 small juices.)
Ingredients
Directions
Depending on the strength of your juicer you may need to chop your apple and cucumber into fourths. Don’t have a juicer? A blender or food processor will make green smoothies instead. Place the first 5 ingredients in juicer, pour over ice and garnish with mint sprig. That’s it! Enjoy the best green juice!
