The term green juice, is meant to describe any juice – that is in fact some shade of the color green. Green juice may be a combination of fruit and veggies or it may be 100% veggies. Green Juice ingredients may be 100% crisp green, or a rainbow of colors. I’m a personal fan of using all greens.

Each ingredient produces a unique flavor property – and with a little creative license, you can easily craft your perfect variation of “Green Juice”.
