What Makes This Recipe Great

I created this recipe when I was in NEED of some nutrition.

One year, my sister threw a New Year’s Eve dinner party for a few friends. We played games, we sipped our way thru a few bottles of champagne, and we ate. Oh boy, did we eat. Steak, lobster, scallops, shrimp. Not to mention mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and bread on bread on bread. We rung in the new year right. It was amazing. And filling.

After all the eating and drinking, I needed to detox the next day. And I found that kick-starting my health with this rejuvenating detox green juice always did the trick. It had a gorgeous green color, was perfectly sweet and balanced, and I just felt better after drinking it.

So my super secret (not so secret) green detox juice was born, and I absolutely LOVE it! Even better, juicing at home is more affordable, easy to customize, and so versatile!

Many people drink green juice for weight loss, juice fasts, etc. If this is you, I recommend consulting a professional to make sure you are getting the proper nutrition for your individual needs.

If you’re looking for other healthy drinks try this Strawberry Banana Green Smoothie, this Kale Coconut Green Smoothie, or my Ultimate Pregnancy Superfoods Smoothie.

Do I Need a Juicer?

I splurged and got the Breville 800JEXL juicer and I *love* it! It makes it so easy to make juices all the time for breakfast, or a snack. If you’re thinking of getting a juicer, I highly recommend it. Get’s out all the juice from the produce, juices everything quickly, and is easy to clean.

If you don’t have a juicer, you can do this in a blender, which Kelly from Just a Taste does a great job explaining and includes an easy-to-follow video.
