You guys. This is my FAVORITEGreen Juice Recipe. I’ve actually been drinking it for almosttwo years now (ever since we got our new juicer) and I can’t believe I never had the thought to share it with you!

For me, juicing is never a meal substitute, but something I add on to really packin my fruits and veggies. This Green Juice Recipe makes me feel so good and I actually really do enjoy how it tastes. It’s also the perfect gateway into juicing if you’re somebody who doesn’t necessarily love the taste of vegetables!

Now, as much as I try, I know I don’t eat enough vegetables. Ahem, especially on days when I’m recipe testing these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. You understand, I’m only human! 😉

Green Juice tooooo the rescue! This recipe makes FOUR cups of juice and within that holds super food kale, cucumber, celery, lemon, ginger, and apples.

Trevor and I started making thisGreen Juice Recipe a few months before our wedding, because, like I said, there are days when I’ll eat more chocolate chips than I do fruits and veggies.

What does green juice do for you?

While I really do love my fruits and veggies, I knowit isn’t realistic (for me personally) to get what I needsimply by eating them every day! That why I love, love, LOVE juicing.

Green juice for me = more fruits, veggies, and nutrients into my body!

Is it better to juice or blend?is juicing really better for you?

Now, I know, juicing is kiiind of controversial, because let’s be real, it’s probably better to actually EAT your veggies then drink them, because you’re missing out on all the fibers in the fruits and veggies, but drinking them is easier for me, and heck, that’s way better than nothing, yes? 🙂

Plus, hellooooo thisGreen Juice Recipe is freakin’ delicious.

How long are juiced vegetables good for?

It’s really best to drink green juice right away, but CAN be left (covered) in the fridge for 24-48 hours.

Depending on the kind of juicer you have (look at your manual), it’s best to drink your juice immediately. With the juicer we have, this greenjuice can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 24 hours. I prefer my juice ice cold. 🙂

Step 3: Drink and enjoy!
