A New Way of Eating: Rachel's Green Juice Recipe Transcript

"A New Way of Eating: Rachel's Green Juice Recipe" Rachel: "So this is called my Green Juice that I make in the morning. Start off by putting a lot of spinach in, and then I put a few leaves of romaine lettuce. Then we can do some kale. Kale is a very tough vegetable so you want to make sure you rip it up into small pieces. And then I put in some, uh, snow pea shoots. And to sweeten it up a little bit, I usually put in an apple and some kiwi, that way it's not all greens, because that can taste a little bitter. And kiwis are very healthy, they actually have a lot more vitamin C than oranges do, and they're much smaller. And then adding lemon really cuts any of the bitterness that you're going to find in the greens. So lemon is a great detoxifier for your liver, and your liver is one of your main fat burning organs, so, um, you really want to take care of it. And then you just puree. Okay, I think that's blended enough for the demonstration. Um, so this is what it looks like, really yummy, and depending on how many dark greens you put in there the color is going to change a little bit. And then you just pour it and you're good to go."
