The Green Goodness Drink

Want a boost in energy the natural way? Are you feeling the beginnings of a cold? Or would you like to build your vitamin and mineral reserves? A green drink, which I fondly call The Green Goodness, may be the answer you need. Fresh vegetable juice is full of vitamins, chlorophyll, fiber, and minerals that can help you gain/retain energy, shorten the time of an illness, and detox your body. For maximum potency, consume this drink within 30 minutes of preparing it.

You will need:

• A juicer or high powered blender
• 1 cucumber
• 1 bunch of kale greens
• 4 carrots
• 1 bunch of cilantro
• 1 apple

Rinse produce thoroughly before beginning. If using a juicer, start by juicing all soft ingredients (IE. kale and cilantro). Then finish by juicing the rest of the produce one by one. If using a blender, slowly add all soft ingredients first. You may wish to add 1/4 cup of 100% pure apple juice to aid in the puree process. Chop the cucumber, carrots, and apple. Slowly add these ingredients. This recipe may make more juice than you intend to drink in one sitting. Freeze the rest until later or share with a loved one. Enjoy!
