Grassy Youth Juice



This green mushy looking thing above tasted sooo healthy and delicious, and I made so much of it that I have plenty leftover. This is a great meal replacement, and also wonderful for on-the-go. I made about 3 to 4 servings worth and stored away what I didn't finish in a mason jar for later. I put a heavy amount of leafy greens in it which made the consistency more JUICE-like (which I heavily enjoyed!) and I hope you will, too. One thing I highly recommend is a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix because it really makes the ingredients smooth out, so you don't get that seediness most of us don't like.

Ingredients:
  1. 2 leafs of Rainbow Chard (de-stemmed)
  2. Half a head of Red Kale 
  3. About a handful of Curly Parsley 
  4. Half a Lemon (pick out those seeds)
  5. 1 yellow pear 
  6. 2 strawberries 
  7. 1 mini chiquita banana 
  8. A sprinkle of Wheat Grass powder* 
  9. Lots of water!!! (I put about 1 and a 1/2 bottles worth)
  10. And lots of ice! (if you want it to be cold) 
*Optional ingredient

One more thing! If you'd like to take it a notch further and make this a more watery juice vs. thick, what you can do is pour the ingredients through a strainer.
