Dark Tart Cherry Green Juice

Today I started with the grapefruit and kale in the blender as I did this weekend. Instead if water I used tart cherry juice. It was good, but again, because of the thickness I would not recommend it as someone's first juice.

The Mix:
3 kale leaves
1 pink grapefruit no rind or seeds
1 tbsp raw honey
1 tbsp coconut water powder
1/2 cup tart cherry juice

Spicy Chocolate Smoothie

If you like chocolate with an edge, this is the smoothie for you! Mine only had a slight edge, but you can go as far as you like with this.

1 cup flax milk
1/8 cup cocoa
1 cup frozen banana
1 tbsp raw local honey
3 dashes from my cayenne spice bottle

Blender Juicing

I decided on an experiment today. I used the blender, instead of the juicer, to make make my juice.
The mix: grapefruit with no rind and big seeds removed, 3 large kale leaves, tsp of local raw honey, tsp chia seeds, and a cup of water.

Calories: 215

It came out pretty good. The texture was different than when using a juicer, as expected, but did not gross me out or anything. I would not recommend it for a first time juicer.

Green Glasses

Last night I juiced everything. I started and just couldn't stop.
A warning about this one: cilantro is powerful, use sparingly.

The juicy mix:  apple, beet, carrots, cauliflower, cilantro, grapefruit, kale, lemon, lime, parsley, pear, yellow pepper, Swiss chard, tomato, and some added chia seeds for this morning's glass.
