Super healthy. Heart disease is a metabolic disease caused by systemic inflammation due to bad diets. Green juices are wonderful to fight inflammation.

I agree @discernente! It's been my go to juice lately, so yummy!

Hello alemieux, I have also felt such cravings and also wondered how green it should be. Maybe I'd go for even greener, but I cannot judge yours other than it looks delicious and refreshing. When I'm looking for a snack I usually end up eating an apple and some lentils, I constantly wonder what the best food can be and I tend more and more to greens and fruit =) Thank you for sharing this.

You are welcome @beastieboy! Thank you for the feedback and suggestions. A friend of mine recently tried this recipe but substituted in ginger as he didn't have any mint. He said it turned out great. I love the versatility of green juices in that you can mix and match the fruit and veggies until you find your favorite combo. I try to have my veggie/herb ratio higher than my fruits as I don't like them super sweet. I've also been eating a red quinoa and red bean mix post workout that seems to give me an extra boost as well. Cheers!!
