Green Drinks Juicing Recipes

For the ultimate in healthfulness, there is no substitute for buckwheat and sunflower greens. However, when these are not available, sprouts may be substituted in the following green drink recipes.

Green drinks are best made in a wheatgrass juicer as many of the ingredients will oxidize (turn grey or brown) in highspeed juicers. If desired, strain green juice using a fine wire mesh strainer. Stir and drink.

These recipes are from a 1989 Juicing Cookbook by Steven Blauer.
