let’s talk about green juice.

you know, the overpriced elixir that wellness influencers swear by— usually in a mason jar with some over dramatic claims that it's going to fix everything "wrong" with you.

but let’s be real: green juice isn't magic. it's a convienient and easy to way to get more veggies without chowing down on a head of broccoli as a snack. which is cool but the thought of dropping $10+ on what’s essentially a salad in liquid form in this economy, babe it ain't happening.

good news—there’s absolutely no need to blow your grocery budget on something you can easily whip up at home for a fraction of the cost. and guess what? you don’t even need one of those bougie juicers that take up all your counter space and require a PhD to clean (unless of course you want to).

let's green juice

1. chop up all produce into smaller pieces, we are blending it so it doesn't have to look nice

2. add all produce to the blender and blend for 1 minute into chopped up small.

3. add in water slowly while blending

4. strain pulp out: I like to add a strainer to a large bowl and pour in the mixture

5. store in the fridge for the week

what to do with the leftover pulp after you're done making green juice

all about reducing waste here, so don’t toss that pulp just yet!

• conservation babe tip: add the pulp back to the blender, throw in another 1 1/2 cups of water, and blend again for a second round of juice. You’ll be surprised how much more juice you can squeeze out of it.

  
  

• freeze it for future smoothies: pour the pulp into ice cube trays and freeze it. The next time you’re making a smoothie, toss in a few of these cubes for extra nutrients and fiber—plus, no more wasted produce.

  
  

and just like that, you have green juice without the fancier juicer or fancy juice shop price.
