Happy Friday! Today’s blog post is a recipe for a green cleanse juice!🥒🥬🥕 Each day we are supposed to consume 5-7 servings of vegetables but this can quite difficult to accomplish. A great way to reach this amount is by juicing! With a juice you can include multiple servings of both fruits and veggies, it doesn’t fill you up as fast, and is much easier to consume. Today’s green cleanse juice is super easy to make, is packed with nutrients, and contains about 4 servings of veggies.

Now let’s get to it!
GREEN CLEANSE JUICE
Time: 5-10 minutes
Serves: approx. 16 oz (2 people)
Ingredients:
half a cucumber
2 large green apples
5 cups of spinach
5 stalks of celery
1 grapefruit
2 large carrots
ITEMS NEEDED
You will need a juicer or a blender to make this juice. We have provided to different "step" sections: one for making it with a juicer and a second for making it with a blender.
OPTION ONE-WITH A JUICER
Cut up all your ingredients so that they are small enough to fit into your juicer.
Then, juice the ingredients. (The order of it doesn't affect the juice)
Pour yourself a cup and enjoy! (It will stay good for up to a week in the fridge).
OPTION TWO-WITH A BLENDER
Cut up all your ingredients so that they are small enough for your blender to handle.
Blend all the ingredients together until there is little to no chunks left.
Grab a large bowl and place it in the sink (or a place to catch liquids)
Using a cheese cloth or a nut bag, pour your blended ingredients into the cloth over the sink to catch the juice. (A strainer will work but the texture will more smoothie like rather than juice)
Squeeze the cloth over the bowl to extract the juice from the blended ingredients. (This process is similar to making almond milk for those that are familiar with that)
Then take your bowl of squeezed juice, pour it into a cup and enjoy. (It will stay good for up to a week in the fridge)
We hope you enjoy this recipe and have a lovely weekend. We will see you back here on Monday for our next blog post: Morning Mindset Shifting.
