Green Genie Juice Recipe {30 Days of Juicing}

Green Genie Juice

(30 Days of Juicing Day #2 - Green Genie Juice)

Unlike Martha, I have been juicing on-and-off now for most of my adult life, but I now intend to have more "on" days than "off". (She may not remember, but it was she who bought me my first juicer (affiliate link) a very long time ago as a gift).

One thing that I love about juicing is that you are free to use whatever fruits and vegetables you like best and can easily modify the amounts used.

And I can honestly say that I do enjoy the taste of green juices, even shots of wheatgrass - which is an acquired taste for most 🙂

The Skinny on Green Genie Juice

For Day #2 of our 30 Days of Juicing: Juice Fest - I wanted to try a tasteful, yet mild green juice.

I came across this recipe for Green Genie Juice, which consists only of celery, cucumbers and kale and felt it would be perfect.

From my own experience, I think you can easily go overboard with too many ingredients in your juice and wind up with something that is rather hard to identify (taste-wise) and may not look that appealing either 😉

If you're just starting out juicing, you may want to use only a few ingredients, taste as you go, and adjust accordingly (this is how I ended up modifying this recipe for Green Genie Juice). After all, you don't want to buy a ton of fresh produce and turn it into something that is undrinkable.

Kale, Cucumber and Celery for Juicing

The original recipe calls for 1 stalk of celery, 3 cucumbers and 4 kale leaves. I ended up juicing 2 stalks/ribs of celery, 3 cucumbers, 4 kale leaves, and as well as ½ lemon and ½ lime. For me, the original recipe tasted ok, but it was mostly just cucumber and I was wanting a little more flavor. So, I ended up adding in ½ lemon and ½ lime which gave it a nice, fresh citrus flavor.

You'll get a lot of juice from this recipe - I ended up with about 32 ounces (or 4 cups), mainly because the celery and cucumber are mostly water, so feel free to cut in half if necessary. And keep in mind there lots of variables including size of fruits/vegetables used and type of juicer (affiliate link) used, so yields will vary.

According to our calculations, each 1 cup serving of this green genie juice has about 32 calories and 1* Weight Watchers Points Plus. The 3 cucumbers gave me a little more than 28 ounces of juice, which is all that was counted. We're not really concerned with the negligible calories from juicing the kale, celery, lemon and lime.
