My New Drink of Choice

I jumped on the green juice wagon over a month ago, 

and yes, 

I’m hooked. 

I’d heard about the glories of juicing for quite some time

and have even tried one of the  3-day cleanses 

with shipped-to-my-door juices.

But it was a recipe I found on Sous Style

featuring the absolutely radiant Kimberly Snyder

and her signature Glowing Green Smoothie,

that got me to try making one myself.

I loved that you could make enough for 3-4 days, 

and it consisted of common ingredients, 

no odd oils, supplements or other items 

I wouldn’t be able to obtain at my local grocery.

Kimberly swore by her smoothie 

and proclaimed lots of fabulous benefits 

that I yearned for.

So I gave it a go.

And it really is fabulous.

But what I love

is every time I make a batch, 

almost every Sunday evening, 

I edit the recipe, 
making it my own. 

You can personalize the juice so it works in your favor.

After the first try, I added an extra apple 

so I could get used to the green flavor a bit more.

I love lemon, so instead of half a lemon, 

I always use a full one.
I’ve continued to experiment, 
tweaking ingredients and amounts, 
creating my own version.

This past week I mixed kale in with the spinach, 

and while thicker and “greener,”

I like it and love knowing I’m getting so many nutrients right away in the morning. 

I feel healthier, 

and even if it’s more mind over matter, 

I can’t deny that I feel better.

It may be trendy and cliche, 

but I’m on the green juice band wagon, 

and I ain’t getting off anytime soon.

I see a potential future career here....
