Mean Green Juice ~ Meatless Monday

Mean Green Juice ~ from the movie Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead.

I'd been looking for juicer recipes that included the superfood ~ kale ~ when I came across tons of posts that talked about the documentary movie ~ Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead.  I remembered hearing about the documentary, but had never seen it.  I was intrigued & read a couple of the blogs.  Then I headed on over to the ReBoot With Joe site & looked around.  If you haven't seen the movie yet, I highly recommend it.  (you can watch it over on Hulu ~ if you're in the US)   Wow!  What an amazing journey Joe & Phil went through!  Certainly a lot of food for thought. (no pun intended ~ OK, pun intended :)

I made the signature ~ Mean Green Juice ~ and really enjoyed it.   It'll become a regular in my juicer recipe rotation.  Watch the movie & see for yourself how much these guys (and others who's stories where told) benefited from their juicing journey.  Very inspiring, indeed!   Good on ya, mate!

Here is a great post from the blog ~ Macheesmo ~ that talks about the movie, reviews it & also has the basic recipe, but he makes his Mean Green Juice with his blender.  And for more variations on the original Mean Green Juice recipe, check out this site.  :)
