Green Lemonade



Do you have a juicer? I FINALLY used mine since moving in to our new place, and made this green lemonade that I read about in Raw Detox Diet. It's delicious, and pretty simple:

- 1 head romaine or celery
- 5 or 6 stalks kale (any type)
- 1 to 2 apples (as needed for sweetness- the author recommends organic Fuji)
- 1 whole organic lemon
- 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh ginger (optional)

I didn't have celery/ romaine, so I used spinach instead. And I plan to stock up on ginger for next time. But the apples make it sweet and the lemon makes it tart, so it's a great way to get all the nutrients from the kale and spinach if you don't otherwise get enough greens (like me).

Will you try it? I know I plan to make it all the time!
