Ingredients

  • Large handful of kale
  • 1/2 bunch of parsley
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 2 celery stalks
  • 1/2 Granny Smith apple
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup of seedless green grapes not cut up

Instructions

  • Toss all ingredients into a food blender/extractor. (I used a Nutri-Bullet.)
  • Run until completely blended, in a Nutri-bullet it took around 20-30 seconds.
  • Taste your juice and if it's not quite sweet enough, add more grapes or 1/2 a banana.
  • Serve over ice.
  • Makes 2 drinks the size shown in the photo.

Notes

Note: I've discovered the Nutribullet works much better if you add in a little water or some kind of liquid. Otherwise the blade just wants to spin around and around and not pull in the rest of the veggies.
The morning after I made this, I squished about 1/3rd of a ripe banana into the glass of juice I had left over from the night before. (I had refrigerated the other glass of juice overnight.) It was really good with the banana! Loved the flavor of the banana with the other vegetables and it added just a bit more sweetness to the mix.
