Green Machine

My motto for Summer 2012 is "get healthy inside and out". I'm back to my gym grind consisting of yoga, sculpt and spin classes but I'm also really trying to focus on my diet. I've added this lovely veggie drink to my daily routine! 


Now if veggies aren't your thing I swear it doesn't taste as bad as it looks. It actually has a sweet taste because I add apple to tone down the veggie taste. I drink 1 cup of this veggie juice for breakfast every morning. 
Here's the recipe my family uses (we all drink it)

4 organic celery stocks
1 organic cucumber
1 handfull of organic spinach leaves
1/4 cup of organic kale
1-2 organic apples for sweetness (granny smith and pink lady work well)

Put all ingredients in juicer and chill. Makes 2.5-3 cups.

Some things to keep in mind:
Make sure to drink within 24 hours of making (we make ours the night before).
Use the entire vegetable! You're only drinking the juice. 
Make sure the clean your juicer immediately after making.  
You don't have to stick to this recipe, you can experiment with your favorite fruits and veggies.

Enjoy!
