1 large pear, any variety1 granny smith apple
baby spinach or kale
juice of 1 lemon plus one sliver of lemon (including peel)
Stevia to taste
Coconut water
Optional: Coconut milk or almond milk, fresh ginger, mint leaves
Put everything in a Vitamix or high powered blender and mix until completely pulverized. Put in a mason jar with a lid. Because you are keeping the whole apple and including greens, it will have a fairly heavy consistency to it. If it begins to settle, continue to shake.
Here is a good selection of juicer recipes. Feel free to add greens or greens powder to any of the recipes for added nutrition.
