You can make these juices in bulk and refrigerate for the week, or whip up the green goodness on the fly when your body is feeling sluggish. The key to making a green juice that doesn’t taste like weeds is to balance the herbs and greens with a little green apple, cucumber, or pineapple.
If you are interested in incorporating juices into your diet, then investing in a quality juicer is a good idea. Juicers can get expensive quickly, but for moderate juicing, you don’t need a juicer that’s too state-of-the-art. If you have a stand mixer, try looking into an attachment to cut down on extra kitchen gadgets.
