Recipe #1 The Ultimate Pineapple-Kale-Blast
6-8 large leaves of kale with stem
1/2 large cucumber
1/2 bunch parsley (or cilantro)
1/4 to ⅓ pineapple meat, no skin
1 medium apple (either yellow or green)
The Pineapple-Kale blast has two fruits in it – pineapple and apple, and honestly, it is one of my most favorite recipes! I wanted to get you started with something that is more sweet than normal for a green juice and easier on your taste buds as you get started, so we are going a little wild here with our fruits.
If you wanted to modify, you can just skip the pineapple, because the apple will give you plenty to offset any bitterness in the greens. Please feel free to reduce the kale if you are just starting out on dark leafy vegetables.
Recipe #2: Reboot Essentials
1 apple (large or medium, any kind you like)
1 lemon
4 celery stalks
2 medium-large carrots
6-10 stems parsley
6-8 stems fresh mint
In this recipe, we are using a standard foundation of most green juices – carrots and celery – they go great together. Also, you are going to have one sweet fruit, use any kind of apple you like, and a lemon for the fresh citrusy taste and a blast of Vitamin C.
The mint is extra and it’s fine if you don’t have any, but it adds such great aroma. This should fill you up for 2 even 3 hours. Enjoy!
Recipe #3: A Spinach and Vitamin C Minty Rush
1 Whole Spinach Bunch (About 6 cups)
2 yellow delicious apples
1-2 lemons, unpeeled
2 oranges
1 chunk of ginger
6-8 stems fresh mint
I made this recipe when I was recovering from a cold and virus and it has done wonders for me. I was a little more liberal with the ginger so be careful how much ginger you use.
The spinach has healing nutritious elements and the apple was just a good way to sweeten it even more. This is more fruit than usual and if you want to modify, just skip the apple or go down to one. It makes a good 4-5 cups so you will have left-over.
