Green Is In If I had to recommend just one juice from our repertoire, this simple green recipe would perhaps be the winner. This drink is like a canvas for all the other fruits, vegetables, and superfoods lying around in your kitchen. And yes, you can think of yourself as the juice artist! Enjoy it as it is, or add whatever your body yearns for, making it new and exciting every time you drink it.
Makes 1 glass ½ cucumber ½ Granny Smith apple 2 celery ribs ½–1 heart of romaine 1–2 cups spinach, chard, or kale Juice all the ingredients and serve. Green apples have a lower glycemic index (GI) than most fruits, and that’s why they’re a great alternative to sweeten your juices. Including ingredients with a low GI in your juices will keep your blood sugar levels stable, which translates into fewer cravings, better mood, and higher levels of energy throughout the whole day.
