Friday is a dangerous day.
Friday afternoon, after a long week of words and dishes and more dishes and words… I feel very deserving.
I feel like I deserve a double cheeseburger with short ribs. ย I feel like I deserve a negroni or several. ย I feel like I should see how many Oreo cookies I can fit in my mouth… just so I know… in case anyone ever asks.
Maybe I am deserving of such indulgence. ย Maybe though… maybe I’m just eating my feelings a little bit. ย Real life. ย I’m just being honest.
Here we are staring Monday in the face. ย I’m ready for something green… and something a little less short rib-y.
A few months ago we talked about juicing. ย It’s totally a thing.
Takes some fruits and vegetables, mash them through a grind-y thing, drink the juice and hope it tastes good.
Today’s Apple Cucumber Celery Kale Gingerย Juice definitely tasted great! ย Not like short ribs… but that’s good, right?
Let’s talk green, and you don’t even need a juicer to do it!
Spinach Kiwi and Chia Seed Smoothie. ย Spinach is totally drinkable, even without a juicer. ย Spinach grinds into a smoothie like a dream. ย Hidden greens. ย Not so hidden.
Kale Spinach and Pear Smoothie. ย Doubling the greens means super-hero status. ย
Super Spinach Smoothieย ย is packed with greens and Amazing Grass Green Powder. ย Powerhouse!
Apple Cucumber Celery Kale Ginger Juice
1 cucumber, sliced
1 apple, cored and sliced
2 heaping cups kale leaves, stems removed

Press all of the produce through a juicer. ย Enjoy immediately. ย It’s green! ย
