Weekly Green Juice Recipe

The Vitamix A2500 is easily my favorite kitchen purchase in the last several years: it blends and heats soups, makes ice cream and sorbets, juices and smoothies, and is great for blending salad dressings and making whipped cream. This particular blender self-cleans: you add a drop of dish soap in with water and blend on high for 30 seconds to a minute and all it needs is a rinse, afterward. This makes it very enticing to use, knowing that it won’t have to soak or take ten minutes of scrubbing to get oil or other difficult-to-remove substances off the sides.
Anyway! Here’s my weekly green juice recipe: this makes a huge batch that lasts several days. It’s so refreshing and takes just a few minutes to throw together.
Ingredients:
1 large bunch of flat-leaf parsley, sliced in half
1 cup roughly chopped celery
2 large blood oranges, peel removed
Juice of 1 lemon
Juice of 2 limes
1 Tbsp minced ginger
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Supplements of choice: I like MoonJuice and Wooden Spoon Herbs
1-2 cups distilled water (start smaller + add more as you go if needed)
Directions:
Start by adding water to your blender, following with supplements and powders if you choose to add them. Next, add the vanilla extract, lemon, lime, and/or blood orange juice, then parsley, ginger, oranges and celery.
Gradually raise the speed of the blender until it reaches the highest speed and blend for about a minute.
Serve immediately or store in the fridge for 4-5 days. Enjoy!
