Green "Super Hero" Juice
If you are having trouble getting your kids to even look at a glass of green juice (never mind drinking it), what you call it can make all the difference in the world. A few examples: Ninja Turtle Power Juice, Green Lantern Super Juice, or use the name of any green-colored character that happens to be your child's favorite. You can also freeze juice as ice pops.
Ingredients:
5 cups spinach
1 bunch kale (~8 stalks)
6 medium carrots
2 Golden Delicious apples
1 lemon (peeled)
3 slices of golden honeydew (could substitute cantaloupe or pineapple chunks)
Instructions:
Rinse all produce, even if using organic items. Use a juicer (or Vitamix-type blender) and mix to desired consistency. Smoother tends to be more palatable for younger children and easier for digestion. Yields 42 oz.
