Green Juice

-
Generally we have a side salad with our dinner each night, but this week we had extra cucumbers from the CSA and needed to figure out what to do with our bounty of produce. Enter the juicer. We juiced half a cucumber, half a head of romaine lettuce, a handful of spinach, and two pears, and in about five minutes we had a beautiful, inexpensive, and tasty way to get a few servings of veggies in on a Saturday afternoon. The salad juice was smooth and had a nice balance of sweet from the pear and zip from the cucumber. Apparently our countrymen could use to learn a few lessons in eating veggies, as yesterday's paper reported that only one in four Americans eats three or more servings of vegetables a day. Eesh. My advice- buy a juicer, it's fast and so yummmmmmyyyyyy!
