Maybe it's a trend because it is still around the New Year, but I have been running into green juice recipes everywhere! Got the best of me so I had to try one!
The tastiest recipe to me was on Seattle Weekly's website from Strawberry Moon http://www.strawberrymoonjuice.com/pages/about-us.
Kale, chard, spinach, pear, ginger & cayenne. Nuff said.
I tried it in the blender because with the fruit I wanted to keep the fiber in my drink. This method extends the time it takes to digest and helps to not spike blood sugar levels.
My result? A thick, spicy/sweet drink. I would rate it a 4 out of 5 for taste and would try it again in a juicer. here's what I did:
Need:
Blender
handful of kale
handful of swiss chard
half of one large pear
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 dropperful of cayenne tincture
3/4-1 cup water (depending on how thick you like it)

What to do:
In blender on high speed add all ingredients and blend, blend, blend! Make sure you stop and scrape down the sides to get everything into liquid form.
* This would also be great if you use a juicer to juice a lemon, the greens and the pear.
There are so many variations to try, what do you like??
