Blueprint Cleanse Green Juice Recipe (attempt)
Thanksgiving is OVER. OK, stomach? You have got to get a grip. I finally had to throw away the pie because you were out of control and greedy.
This is what you are getting today and you will like it:
Actually, if there is one “take away” from my Blueprint Cleanse was that juice doesn’t have to suck.
My previous philosophy was, juice whatever you have around and choke it down.
I never tried to make it taste GOOD.
So, I’ve been attempting to replicate the Blueprint Green Juice secret recipe.
I think it is pretty close. My greens are spinach, kale and swiss chard.
That was typically all I would juice, and it tasted like $h!t. Anyone who tells you kale juice straight up is yummy is lying.
Just like a shot of tequila, those bad boys need a chaser.
A couple apples, lemons, celery stalk and cucumber will do…
The recipe makes enough for two juices. I have been storing them in my used Kombucha bottles, so don’t let that confuse you. I just like the size and the ability to grab it and go. Some people like to store it in mason jars, but they can get a little messy in the car…
Blueprint Cleanse Green Juice Recipe (attempt)
- 3 oz kale leaves (approx 4 medium leaves)
- 3 oz spinach leaves (approx two large handfuls)
- 3 oz swiss chard leaves (approx 3 large leaves)
- 2 apples
- 3 stalks of celery
- 1 really big cucumber
- 2 lemons
- Juice them all, skim the “froth” off the top (who like a mouthful of green foam?) and store them in glass containers. The less exposure to oxygen the better, so the tapered top of the Kombucha bottles is a good choice since there is only a small area exposed.
- This recipe makes enough for two 14 ounce servings.
- Enjoy!
Sometime back, I did a three day cleanse using unfiltered apple juice. It did do a great job, but I felt the additional sugar, although made the experience more enjoyable, wasn’t all that good for me.
I did a liver cleanse that required a ton of apple juice, and I felt the same way – so much sugar! But the results were very interesting… http://dalailina.wordpress.com/2010/07/05/warning-crazy-liver-cleanse-story/
I will need to try this recipe out! I tried BPC in September, loved the effect, and enjoyed the cleanse. Now I wanted to do this on my own! Have you tried juicing the other ones from BPC?
I tried mimicking the beet juice and found the key was adding enough lemon. I also did the cashew milk which is in the first page of the website! Try that one out-delish!!!
I’ve never had the Blueprint drinks, but I have been making a similar green juice for a long time. I should have marketed it, apparently.
1 giant bunch kale
1 crown broccoli
1 or 2 stalks celery
2 green apples
1/2 lemon (with peel)
2″ ginger
I think this is really nutritious and pretty palatable; adding more apple makes it sweeter, but adds more sugar. So, it’s a trade-off.
Can you believe I’ve never juiced broccoli? It’s always scared me that it would taste aweful!!! Now I’ll have to try it:) Thanks for the recipe!
