Summertime is my favorite time of year to make smoothies and juices.
Why? The abundance of fresh produce! I know, but it takes so much time and effort to create the juices – why not just eat more fresh produce? Because it’s virtually impossible to benefit from the same amount of nutrients you gain from drinking a delicious, tall glass of veggies. Think about it. Would you really eat the same amount of kale or spinach in one meal as you would if you drank 8 ounces?
Here’s a super tasty recipe that speeds up the metabolism and could easily become one of your favorite summertime treats:
Makes 1 quart.
1 English cucumber
1/2 head of celery
2 limes peeled
1/2 jalapeño pepper with seeds removed
1granny smith apple
Handful of cilantro
Beet greens from one bunch of beets
Run through the juicer and enjoy!
