Morning Green Glory

This recipe makes about 16 ounces of juice.

This green juice is a delicious eye-opener for first thing in the morning.  The Joe Cross website says to peel the lemon.  I NEVER did this.  I read on other many other health sites that while you do peel any other citrus fruit because of the bitterness it adds, there are so many health benefits in the lemon peel that it should be left on. I never felt that it was bitter, and I definitely felt great.

Ingredients:
4 – 5 large kale leaves
1 large handful of spinach
3 romaine leaves
1 cucumber
3 celery stalks
1 green apple
1 lemon, peeled (You can leave the peel on but it will taste very bitter)

Directions:
1.) Wash the ingredients well.
2.) *Push all ingredients through your Breville Juicer and juice on!



*TIP: I find that you get more out of your leafy greens when you push them through with celery or cucumber. I add the kale leaves, and push it through with the cucumber. Next, the spinach leaves pushed through with the celery. The romaine goes in next easily on its own. Then the apple, followed by the lemon and voila! You now have your energy for the day.

*TIP: Depending on which greens look best to me at the store, I sometimes switch up the leafy greens and use collard greens and/or Swiss chard.

Healthy Benefits:  Dark leafy greens are rich in chlorophyll, which is believed to have the power to regenerate, cleanse and Reboot your body at the most basic cellular level. Increasing your consumption of chlorophyll also increases the number of red blood cells in your body, improving how effectively your body absorbs and uses oxygen, and that makes you healthier!
