>After weeks of touring and eating only in restaurants, i>t’s really good to be home for a few days>.>>>I’ve been cooking very simply, and my refrigerator is full of all things green and leafy.>>>And I have been enjoying a daily large dose of fresh vegetable juices, thanks to my trusty Vitamix blender.>>>This Kale-Cucumber-Ginger-Mint Juice is the perfect way to energize your body, whether or not you need to detox after a month of late night eating and drinking on a tour bus! >
I really missed my Vitamix this last month.>This kick-ass blender immediately became the MVP in my kitchen upon its arrival this spring.>It is a wizard at pureeing soups, transforming them into a puree so silky smooth, you’d swear someone added a cup of cream while you weren’t looking.>But I bought this machine primarily for making vegetable juices, as a way to incorporate more fresh produce into my daily diet.>>

>For ages I’ve wanted a juicer but couldn’t justify the counter space for another appliance.>However, after doing some research online, I found that you could get similar results by blending fruits and vegetables with a little water and ice in the ultra-powerful Vitamix.>The motor in this machine is a force to be reckoned with, capable of pulverizing anything to a liquid, and that was enough to convince me to splurge.>>
>Look at that color!>How could it not be great for you?>I swear I can feel my cells perking up and becoming energized by all the phytonutrients whenever I drink this vibrant green concoction. >
Kale is a nutritional powerhouse while the cucumber is very refreshing. I usually add celery and ginger to this juice, though neither ingredient made it to today’s photo shoot, but I love the spicy kick that the fresh ginger adds.>Tart lime juice adds brightness while the sweetness of the apple rounds everything out. >
>I usually drink this straight from the blender.>If you prefer your juice pulp-free, you can strain the mixture through a fine-meshed sieve or cheesecloth.>I even found one blog post that suggested straining your juice through a clean pair of tights to get the consistency as smooth as possible!>(I’m not sure about that.) >
A daily large dose of this kale-cucumber juice is helping me transition from nutritionally questionable tour-eating to healthy home-eating. >It will soon be time to hit the road again, but for now I am thoroughly happy to drink my greens while I can.>

KALE-CUCUMBER-GINGER-MINT JUICE (aka Louise's Detox Juice)>
Straining the mixture through a fine-meshed sieve produces a very pure juice, or you can drink all the pulp and get the benefits of the additional fiber if you don’t feel like taking that extra step of sieving.>I’ve also tried this in a regular blender with fairly good results, though I usually need to add extra water to get the right smooth texture.>
2 cups filtered water>
3 cups kale leaves, washed and stems removed>
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped>
1 apple, cored and chopped>
2 stalks celery, chopped>
A 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped>
1 large handful of fresh mint leaves>
The juice of half a lime>
Ice cubes>
Add all the ingredients to your blender, starting with the water and softest ingredients first.>Add 1 cup of ice cubes, cover tightly and puree until thoroughly liquified.>>
This makes approximately 40 ounces unfiltered juice, or about 24 ounces if you take the time to strain it.>Drink it all.>Your body will thank you.>
