How to Make Green Lemonade Video:
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNQYJxBo-XU
The Tools:
Knife
A high quality knife is recommended
Cutting Board
Any plastic or wood cutting board will work
Juicer
I like the Breville Juice
Fountain JE95XL – It’s fast and has a high juice yield and a large mouth for fitting most vegetables in whole.
Ingredients Used:
1 Head Organic Romaine Lettuce
2 Organic Fuji Apples
1 Organic Carrot
1 Organic Lemon
1 Organic Lime
Handful of Organic Spinach
Make sure you’ve washed all the ingredients, and then put in your juicer. No need to peel anything. You only need to cut up the ingredients to make them fit into the mouth of the juicer. This recipe usually makes about 16-20 ounces of juice.
If you’ve tried any other green drinks before, you know that many of them don’t taste very good. And the ones that are made from powders can get kind of grainy when you try to drink them. This green lemonade recipe is really simple to make with a juicer, tastes good, and is extremely healthy for you. Since it’s all freshly juiced, you can be sure you’re getting live enzymes and chlorophyll in your body.
I adapted this recipe from one of my favorite books on healthy eating and lifestyle: The Raw Food Detox Diet.
Here are some other ingredients to try in your own “Green Lemonade”
Kale
Celery
Cucumber
Sprouts
Any green leafy vegetable you like
If you need to sweeten the drink, you can use a few drops of Stevia (start with 1 or 2 drops – it’s extremely potent) or some raw honey.
Since this is fresh juice, it’s best to drink it right away, but I’ve found that it will keep for about 2 days if you want to make a little extra when you have the juicer out.
