Green Giant Juice
I’ve been juice fasting feasting today. M. & I had a late dinner of Boca Burgers last night which left me feeling even more sluggish than I did yesterday. Soy and wheat = stuff sticking around inside of me.
I was definitely in need of a cleanse when I awoke. M. brought me a lovely latte in bed but it just didn’t taste good, nor did it give me the caffeine kick I craved.
Enter the green juice. My favorite green juice recipe is from Cherie Soria. I pretty much love all of Cherie’s recipes. Not surprising, since I attend her culinary school. The recipe is published in her latest book, “Raw Food Revolution.”
I usually use 2 apples instead of 1 to cut the saltiness of the celery juice. The lemon is critical to balance the heavy green chlorophyll-y tasted of the kale.
Green Giant Juice
8 oz kale (1 bunch, including stems)
4 celery stalks
1 cucumber
1 apple
1 lemon
Juice all ingredients and serve immediately. Yields 3 cups. 2 small or 1 large serving.
