Smoothie Juice - Going Really Green
by Vanessa
Smoothie Juice Being a big fan of smoothie juice, I decided to try leafy greens in the juicer. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate more leafy green vegetables into the family diet besides the usual salads. Coming from a Southern family I grew up with greens such as collards and mustards cooked for hours with salty meat. I don't cook that way any more, but I still love the flavors. There's always a way to put a healthy modern twist on traditional favorites! Some that are big hits at my house have been a parsley, apples, collards combination (works well with two kinds of apples, one tart and one sweet); parsley, Granny Smith apples, spinach; parsley, basil, mustard greens (you want the lighter green, tender ones), Golden Delicious. Smoothie juice with these ingredients may sound a bit odd, but it is really good! With some family members you will want to let them taste BEFORE you tell them the ingredients!
