I always feel super healthy when drinking green juices… and I should! Kale is an excellent source of vitamins, antioxidants, as well as fiber and sulfur, both of which are great for detoxifying; Kiwi is a superfood, abundant in Vitamin C, which is especially beneficial for youthful looking skin; and parsley, which is an herb chock full of vitamins, not just a pretty garnish. Good stuff!
I’ll be honest though, I absolutely despise the taste of celery so despite it’s health benefits, I leave it out of my juices, but I want you to have the full benefits so I left it in the recipe. You’re welcome 😛

1 bunch Kale, rib removed
1/2 bag Spinach
2 Kiwis
2 Green Apples, cut and cored
