I Can't Believe I've Lived This Long Without Tasting This Stuff Before

After almost no previous exposure to juicing, I viewed "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" on hulu about 3 months ago. The film is very convincing! I arranged to borrow my mom's juicer this spring after my baby comes, but instead my parents suprised me with a Breville for Christmas.

January 4th marks my fourth juicing day and I am bursting at the seams to share the awesomeness of this liquid gold.

Today's recipe:

1 1/2 c. raw kale
2 apples
1 pear
3 large carrots
1 tomato

This was my first experience with kale in my life. The whole kitchen was filled with the earthy scent of chopped kale. The juice was a gorgeous dark green, and the flavor was fresh and sweet.
