Fruits and vegetables are great, but I don’t eat nearly enough of them. My newly discovered love of “juicing” is changing that. The above photo shows what I’m having for breakfast tomorrow. There’s no way I’d ever actually eat all that in one meal. In fact, that’s probably more than I’d eat in a week. Instead, I’ll run it through the juicer and drink the lot of it on the way into the office.

This recipe is called “Mean Green” and is featured in the film “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” which inspired me to try making juice in the first place. I won’t be doing any sort of “cleanse” like in the movie, but I’ll certainly be getting my daily dose of fruits and veggies.
