Mean Green Juice

I just recently watched the documentary Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead and I was totally inspired! I was eager to try one of the juices, The Mean Green, which was used during the juice fast in the documentary. I actually tried it a few weeks ago to jump start the new year.

This juice is really, really good! I was actually surprised because as sweet as it smells, cucumber can be extremely obnoxious and so can kale. Luckily, neither one stole all of the shine! I enjoy this juice very much and it’s definitely one that I will keep.

If you have a juicer great, if not you will need one. You can read more about my newest juicer purchase here!

I found another awesome GREEN smoothie recipe here. I never thought about adding cilantro to a smoothie, but it’s absolutely heavenly! It’s so refreshing and I know this will be a favorite Summer smoothie. Find the recipe here!
