Food Matters: Green Juice Challenge-Day 5~

It’s Day 5, and I’m actually making the Day 5 recommendation – Make Juice Not War Green Drink:

Make Juice Not War Green Drink
Serves 1
• 1 small cucumber
• 1 large kale leaf
• 1 large handful of sprouts (sprouts to try – sweet pea, alfalfa, broccoli, sunflower etc)
• 1 celery stem
• 1 large broccoli stem
• 1/2 pear or green apple (optional)
Other optional greens: romaine, parsley, spinach and dandelion.

Each night, I’ve doubled the ingredients so I have 2 servings.

I made a fun discovery while trying to get the sprouts in the feeder tube…they go in quite easily if you roll the kale leaves around them…

I almost got carried away with the alfalfa sprouts because I was having so much fun!

Moments later we have a bright green juice with minimal sweetness.  This was good, but a little more apple wouldn’t hurt!  I’d like to try it with other sprouts.  I’ll work on that!
