Morning Green Glory Juice

Who needs coffee when you can have this burst of green energy every morning? This green juice recipe is delicious and the perfect way to start your day – the addition of lemon and apple do just the trick to sweeten the greens. Drink it up and your body will thank you.

*TIP: Depending on which greens look best to me at the store, I sometimes switch up the leafy greens and use collard greens and/or Swiss chard.

Healthy Benefits:  Dark leafy greens are rich in chlorophyll, which is believed to have the power to regenerate, cleanse and Reboot your body at the most basic cellular level. Increasing your consumption of chlorophyll also increases the number of red blood cells in your body, improving how effectively your body absorbs and uses oxygen, and that makes you healthier!
