GREEN JUICES WITH FRUIT
With these juices, you’ll get a little bit of sweetness. I chose to go light with the fruits, but if you want it sweeter then you can just add more fruit. Just be mindful of how much fruit you put in. To consider it a green juice, it should be at least a 3 to 1 ratio of greens to fruits. The more bitter the green you choose, the more likely you’ll need to add in more fruit. These are great for children and people who are new to juicing.
GREEN BASIL

2 handfuls basil
3 handfuls spinach

½ green apple
Basil is quite possibly the tastiest herb on Earth. I love it with both sweet drinks and savory drinks. It’s easy to understand why it’s known as the king of herbs! Not only is it delicious, but it has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
SWEET & SPICY
1 head romaine
3 chard leaves
½ green apple
1 handful parsley

1 thumb ginger
This is a great spicy drink, but if you are looking for something a bit more mild, add less ginger.
