Our most recent concoction from the Daily Lumen Cosmicopia Juice Lab is a scintillating combination of Russian Kale and Orange

We had a large bag of snack size organic oranges and decided to whip up a few orange juice variations.  We'll be posting a trilogy of recipes and this is the first.

Orange You Glad Juice

1 large bunch of Russian Kale

4 small oranges well peeled (place all citrus peels in a spray bottle of white vinegar to create a simple and effective household cleaner)

2 yellow grapefruit well peeled (preferably from a neighbor's back yard)

2 small orchard apples

1 large cucumber

This juice is recommended as a pre or post workout juice.  You may find it well suited for the morning after taking in some sun.  There will be a slight bitter 'after taste' which is excellent for stimulating the liver to flush toxins. Follow this juice with several glasses of pure water to assist flushing process. We bought Russian Kale at the local farmer's market.  Normally we don't see it available at our grocery stores. It has spiky leaves.
