PICK ME UP GREEN JUICE

INGREDIENTS:

1 Cucumber

2 Celery sticks

1 Handful spinach

1 Cup water

1 Granny Smith apple

1 carrot

LET'S MAKE SOME JUICE:

I no longer own a juice, so I actually make this in my Vitamix and use a nut milk bag to extract the juice. 

If you have a juicer then go ahead and just juice all the vegetables and fruit, but if you are like me and use a power blender then start by adding the cucumber, celery sticks, spinach and water to your blender.  Make sure to cube everything for easy blending. 

After you have blended the first batch of veggies go ahead and add the apple and carrot cubes. 

I like to break down the blending this way so that I don't end up overloading my Vitamix and don't have the need for adding more water.  The less water the more actual vegetable/fruit juice you end up with. 

Once my juice is done, I filter it through the nut milk bag to separate the pulp from it and serve it in a mason jar or glass.

This juice is amazing for starting your day and getting some of your greens.  If you are juicing and need a new recipe, or as a pick up after work when you are feeling tired but don't feel like eating and simply need a refresher. 

Enjoy!
