This is the traditional Mean Green Joe Cross drinks in the movie. As I became more comfortable with juicing throughout my fast, I began to juice once a day with enough ingredients to last me for 24 hours. As a busy mom, that step is definitely what made me successful. I started with spinach in place of the kale because it is a little milder. I sometimes added a couple carrots if for no other reason that it helps to push everything else through the juicer. I frequently threw in an orange or two also. I would double or triple this recipe for my family.
My basic theory was that greens were greens...I bought whatever was cheap for the week and substituted it in for the kale. I have used spinach, cabbage, lettuce, turnip greens, chard...even asparagus.
The main thing to remember is that while it won't taste super sweet to you at first, it should never taste bad. Adjust the ingredients until you look forward to drinking in it. You can add a few berries or a little more fruit.
