Green is the new Black..

I can't seem to recall the exact place I found the quote... or who can be credited for it, but I remember reading at a very young age "The greatest accessory to fashion a woman can possess is an attractive physique." 

My search to be as fit & stylish as possible has lead me to LOVE juicing. It's not for everybody, however, it's an amazing way to keep make sure you're getting all of your greens! Not everyone has the will power or time to shove 8-10 servings of veggies down a day, I sincerely admire you if this is you!

Today I traded in online "window-shopping" for grocery shopping. The mission was simple - create a green juice that tastes great & helps me get as many green fruits & veggies as possible... after all "Green is the new Black!" 

Ingredients: 

6 Kiwis, peeled
3 Granny Smith Apples
2 Celery stalks
1 Bunch of Kale
1 Cucumber
1 c. Spinach
1 c. Coconut Water

I prefer to use a juicer for the apples, celery & cucumbers, while mixing the kiwis, kale, and spinach with the coconut water in a high speed blender or magic bullet will make sure you're not wasting most of your produce as pulp. 

To avoid the giant mess I made, make sure to lower the spout on the juicer. I'm sure you already know this - I'm probably the only one who would make that mistake... 

Once I'd juiced the cucumber, celery, and apples, I put two packets of Matcha {I use the kind my company carries, however, this is optional & I add it for flavour, digestion aid, and metabolism boosting properties}.

I combined all items in my Blendtec blender & hit "whole juice" which blends it on high for about 45 seconds.

I'm crazy about how delicious this juice is.. It's definitely going to be a staple in my juicing routine. I could probably get away with less fruit & more greens {lowering the carbohydrate amount}, I'll continue to experimenting. Try juicing for health & let me know how you like it!

Stay beautiful!
