Mean Green Juice (For Juicer)
"This is the recipe for "Mean Green" juice used in the documentary "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead." I was a little nervous about trying it -- I couldn't imagine that a juice with kale in it would be palatable -- but it turned out to be delicious! That film has really gotten us into juicing."

I have a Breville Juicer and it does an outstanding job. So When I make my Mean Green I Tend to only use 2 Kale Leafs. I also Use Red Apples it helps cut some of the tart taste out. This is just personal preference. Also I juice everything I don?t bother pealing or coring anything I found I does not make much of a difference. But again Personal preference cuts down on prep time. But Very good base recipe as most of you like me will tweak to personal taste. -
The base ingredients are very good, but sometimes that amount of kale and celery is just too much for me, so I put some pineapple to ease their taste, and this works out PERFECT! It is actually very pleasant to drink now :) Thanks! -
I've been drinking this juice every day for over two years. Personally, I don't think it tastes good, however, it's not about that for me. This juice changed my life! I've only gotten sick once in over two years! I no longer get colds, rarely get headaches, my sleep apnea disappeared (along with 90 lbs.), AND my allergies went away! I'm not on a single medication thanks to this juice. So glad I watched that documentary!

I would like to make a gallon of this juice. What would the recipe be? Please I really need help. -
I haven't tried the juice yet but I've ordered my juicer. I am sure I'm going to like it because I love all of the ingredients. I've been trying to lose weight since January without success. I have been on Atkins and have maintained my current weight but have not lost anything. I am hoping this will give my weight loss a boost.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>My husband and I live in Cambridge MA with our dog Archie. <br /> <br />I used to be a mediocre cook, with little interest in cooking ... then I joined Weight Watchers in Oct. 2006. I finally realized that to maintain my weight, I needed to find lots of extremely yummy, healthy foods that I enjoyed eating -- and the best way to do that is to learn to cook, and to learn to enjoy cooking. This web site has been 95% responsible for getting me there! <br /> <br />As of Oct. 2007, I am a lifetime member of Weight Watchers, having lost 70 pounds and weighing less than I've ever weighed as an adult. I owe a lot of it to the recipes I've found here! <br /> <br />Re: rating recipes -- I only give out five and four stars, and very occasionally three stars. I don't see any point in giving lower scores; I can't be sure a recipe has turned out badly because of something I've done. Besides, even if I don't like it, the next person might -- and if they see a one-star review, they'll never bother to try it. So I review the ones I've loved, and don't say anything about the ones that didn't work for me. <br /> <br />Hooray for vegetables! <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg alt= /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt= /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
