I wouldn't say I am a member of the current juice craze, but I do like to experiment with them from time to time. I don't use them to replace a meal, but rather as a supplement to add more nutrients that I normally don't get on a daily basis. It is also a great way to use produce that is usually forgotten in your refrigerator.
This Green Juice might be my favorite. It is slightly sweet from the carrots and apples, tangy from the lemon, a little spicy from the ginger, and packed with all of that good-for-you stuff. For all of you skeptics out there, it tastes good, I promise!
