Default how much

jennifer,

well I don't go by any recipe for the green juices or the smoothies
for the cooked foods I do

for green juices I know that fennel, dandelion, arugula can be intense
somewhat bitter so I do those about a third or less

kale, chard, spinach I have at it!

same with celery and cucumber both hold a lot of organic
water and are great tasting

add ginger a bit mind you, it will take you to outer space
I love it with ginger


for smoothies

bananas are my base I love sweet and creamy taste and texture

fruit berries are less sweet but different colors contain different
phytonutrients

and I also add a green like spinach

walnuts, or almonds or seeds

and flax oil, aloe vera

the smoothies are filling sweet and creamy

the green juices clear my brain, my eyes,
and give me off the charts energy

so mostly I'm learning about it all and having
fun yes fun

there you have it I encourage you to make
a green juice and a smoothie enjoy them when
you do!

i've always been interested in juicing but it also has a mystique around it for me.
