Keri's Daily Green Juice

For those of you are
aren't in love with dark leafy
greens. Spinach has one of
the mildest flavor of all
greens, and still very
nutrient dense! 

For christmas this year, my fiance set me up with an amazing juicer. The first few weeks I was experimenting with making a low-carb version of my classic green juice and it's just wasn't coming together for me. The ginger and lemon made me cringe no matter how small of an amount of it I put into the juice. Which is weird, because I LOVE lemon and ginger. 

Anyways, most of the fresh juice recipes out there contain a fairly large amount of carbohydrates due to the use of apples, carrots, and many other fruits. When you're on a weight-loss diet or anti-candida diet those carbs are just not worth the health benefits they could provide. I love, love, love this green juice because it is really mild, simple, slightly sweet, low-carb and oh-so-refreshing! Let this recipe remind you don't need all the sugary fruit to make a delicious, nutritious, fresh juice. :-)
