... very green today!

Hello and happy Wednesday!

I wanted to try Joe's Cross's Mean Green Juice recipe today.

I had to do a slight variation.

Here is the recipe for the Mean Green Juice from www.rebootwithjoe.com

1 cucumber
4 celery stalks
2 apples
6-8 kale leaves
1/2 lemon
1 tbsp. ginger

I did not have red apples at home today, but I did have green apples.  I always juice with an apple and a carrot in addition to my greens,  This is the first day I did not use a red apple and a carrot.  I had a big green apple so I only one apple instead of two.  I had never used ginger in my juices so I decided to start with just a tsp of ginger.

WOW!  It was green!  It was more on the stronger, slightly bitter side.  There was a strong celery, grassy smell. If you prefer more of a sweetness in your juices, I would use the two red apples.
When I buy more red apples, I will try the exact recipe.
