Homemade Green Juice Boost

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

When I need a good boost of energy,  I reach for my Omega juicer.  In just a few minutes, I make a glass of fresh juice chock full of live enzymes, vitamins and minerals!  I just made this yummy concoction of what I had in my fridge: carrots, spinach, kale, celery and apples.  If you want kids to like the taste, add apples for some sweetness.

Want to know more about the benefits and how to juice? This article explains it.
