About a month or two ago I received a new toy for review. The NutriPro Juicer arrived at my doorstep all shiny and new and I couldn’t wait to bust it open and start using it.
The first juice I made with my juicer was a simple carrot juice. But I found that just because there was only one ingredient didn’t mean it’d be easy to get a full glass of juice! So I branched out into more complex juice recipes to find a green juice I love.
And this green monster juice hits the spot! There’s no need for any fruit other than the lime but if you’d like you can add 1/2 an apple. I chose not to so that I don’t have to figure out the calories, etc for my Nutrisystem program.
I’m using these juices as a way to get in more servings of veggies on top of the 4 I already get. And I’m having a lot of fun figuring out different variations with the veggies we have on hand!
Green Monster Juice
- 2 cups spinach
- 2 cups baby kale
- 1 small cucumber, quartered
- 2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
- 1 lime, peel removed
Alternate packing your juicer with spinach/kale, cucumber and celery. Halfway through add 1/2 of the lime. Finish feeding in the rest of your ingredients and add the other half of the lime at the end.
You’re ready to enjoy your Green Monster Juice! Stay tuned for my NutriPro Juicer review coming soon as well as other recipes.
Looks amazing. I love anything green and like the fact that it contains lime. I can just taste it!
I more make smoothies and haven’t really tried just juice, but that sounds so refreshing!
Looks like a great recipe!
This is something I want to start doing. First, I need a juicer. I like what you made, looks good.
My husband loves juices like this. I struggle with vegetable juices and always have to use a lot more fruit to hide the veggie flavor. Lol. But the husband loves the straight up veggies.
That is so cool that you got a juicer to review! I have never used a juicer before, but it looks pretty dang awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I have to confess that I purchased a juicer several months ago and still haven’t taken it from the box. I’m so bad like that.
I’ve never been a juicer but I do love getting my veggies in. That juice actually looks delicious!
To juicing for detox purposes, a green monster is a great place to start. For those who are not aware, green monster juices usually revolve around leafy greens like spinach and kale. They are often consumed in the morning, and are suitable for vegans. This basic green monster is a great way to get started with detox juicing. Great put up, very informative, thank you.
