It's the summer of 2023 and life has been busy! So busy to the point that I've been finding myself either skipping a meal or forced to eat on the go. But now that things are (very) slowly slowing down, I'm able to find myself back in the kitchen and making fresh juices at home. I figured if I'm too busy to eat, I might as well not compromise on my nutrition and make a green juice that will provide me with the nutrients I need.

From having had previous conversations with others in the past regarding green juices, there seems to be a trend amongst most people that they fear the green juice. They worry that it'll taste earthy, that it'll make them gag and that "they just can't do it". But I say, fear not! For I have a simple, great tasting green juice recipe that will eliminate the notion that green juices are awful tasting.

This juice doesn't contain any wild or exotic ingredients, just simple everyday fruits and veggies, making this an ideal juice that you could happily enjoy often. And the best part is, that because of the fruits involved, it takes that earthiness taste away, so it makes for a great juice for those who are looking to start juicing and/or for those who are apprehensive of what it'll taste like. It's a perfect balance between sweet and "green".

I encourage you to try this recipe out. Be sure to use organic produce if possible and be sure to thoroughly wash your fruits and veggies first before juicing. If you don't have a juicer, you can easily throw the ingredients in a blender with some water, blend, and then strain the juice into a glass jar.

This recipe makes approximately 64oz. You'll need:

• 2 large handfuls of kale (or spinach)
• 4 stalk of celery
• 2  English cucumbers
• 2 apples
• 2 pears
• 1 lemon (brine removed)

Toss the ingredients into your juicer, pour into a glass jar and enjoy!
