The Mean Green

If you like fruit juices, your taste buds will be bursting with flavor with this green-juice recipe I’ve created called the mean-green. If you do not own a juicer, this combination of fruits and greens will also make for a tasty smoothie. What you’ll need is:

• ·      2 pears
• ·      1 celery stick
• ·      1 green apple
• ·      1 cucumber
• ·      Half a cup of spinach
• ·      4 table spoons of lemon juice

If you are blending this concoction, I suggest mixing it with coconut water and 5 ice cubes.

After rinsing your produce, you’ll want to peel and dice your fruit before plopping them into the mouth of your juicer.

This juice is a kick in the teeth with it’s tartness and can be a great beverage to kick-start your morning before work or school to enhance mental clarity. It’s rich with antioxidants and has a plentiful amount of benefits such as bettering your skin’s complexion and improving your digestive system. Juicing is a quick and easy way for your body to gain nutrients from the extraction of fruits and vegetables. I don’t recommend replacing a juice with a meal, but juicing is a great and healthy way of refreshing your body with something nutritious.
