Warm, summer days are the perfect time of year to enjoy
fresh juice. And juice that you make
yourself or with loved ones is by far the best.
Nothing compares to farm fresh produce, straight from juicer to mouth. Once you've taken a look at my
juicing guidelines, give this recipe a
try. It's by far my favorite.
Sean's Summer Green Juice Recipe
1 large Cucumber
1 medium Fennel bulb (with greens)
1 bunch Celery sticks
1 bunch Spinach
1 bunch Parsley (Italian)
1 medium Lime (with peel)
1 medium Apple (with peel & core)
1 thumb Ginger
root (more or less to taste)
Directions: You can either juice or blend this
recipe. If you want to preserve all of
the fiber and make it more of a meal, you can blend it. Make sure you have a relatively powerful
blender. If you want a light, refreshing
beverage a juicer is required.
I love this recipe! It
tastes amazing, and the emphasis on green vegetables makes it super
healthy. The exclusion of cruciferous vegetables
makes it easy to digest. The spinach and
parsley both provide a broad range of nutrients and other health promoting
ingredients. The fennel, lime and ginger aid
digestion and give the recipe a robust, unique flavor. The apple gives a touch of sweetness, without
adding too much sugar.
The great thing about juicing is that the possibilities are
endless. Why not visit a farmer's market
this weekend? Get creative!
