Raw: Green Juice For Beginners

So, Matt and I juice. A lot. I've decided to start sharing some recipes of 

our "go to juices". Honestly, it's only just now that we've started creating

 recipes; we usually just toss all the left over veggies/fruit of our fridge into the juicer.

We use a masticating juicer. This type of juicer allows for all of your greens

 to be properly juiced. It is also a slower process because it's pressing the

 juice out instead of using heat and a blade (as a centrifugal juicer will).

This is a great green juice. It makes 3 cups, enough for two.

Ingredients: 

- 1 1/2 C Kale

- 1 1/2 C Collard Greens 

- 1 C Spinach 

- 2 head Broccoli 

- 4 large Carrots 

- 1 small Granny Smith Apple

- 1 Orange- skin off

- 1 Grapefruit- skin off

- 1 lime- skin on

And juice!

Tips:

- With juicing you don't need to take out seeds, skin (unless it's oranges and grapefruit- 

you can leave them on but your juice will be very bitter), stems, etc.

- Juice leafy ingredients first and citrus last- the citrus pushes the greens through.

- Clean your juicer asap after.

- If you have a masticating juicer you can leave the juice in the fridge for about 

30 hours. We juice at night and then grab it for breakfast the next morning. 

If you have a centrifugal juicer, drink immediately.

- We use a strainer (provided with our juicer) to prevent excess foam and pulp.

- Don't know what to do with your pulp???? Try making veggie stalk, putting it in 

breads, or composting!
