Red-Green Super Juice Ingredients (use vegan versions): 4 to 5 stalks celery
5 to 6 large sized leaves of rainbow chard, with stems
1 medium-large cucumber, peel on
1 small apple, peel on
1 small beet
one-inch piece of ginger root (optional, for a kick!)
Directions:1) Wash all veggies and the apple. Cut into suitable sized pieces for your particular juicer and juice.
Alternate between the greens & the firmer veggies to be nice to your juicer & get the pulp moving through faster. Juice the beet last! ('cause it's prettier that way.)
Greens can be difficult to juice, but I just fold the Chard in half and then roll it, which makes it feed through real smooth-like. This juice will foam up a bit. Give the whole concoction a good stir to incorporate the foam, then skim off the extra.
I like this recipe with or without the ginger, but the ginger's nice and warming on cold mornings for us raw foodies who miss hot breakfast items.
You can use spinach, collards, or kale in place of the chard. It tastes about the same w/ spinach, but the collards & kale can make it taste a little stronger of greens.
This juice is SUCH a great color!
