Hard to Beet Green Lemonade

Dear Diary,

happyfoody.com Green Lemonade with a Twist

I'm up and out the door a little bit earlier than normal this morning. (I've got a big day ahead of me!) So, of course, I'm having my usual green lemonade first thing, and also making a large glass of Tingly Juice to go. This has me wondering ....

What goes in to your Green Lemonade? Any interesting variations or ingredients you can't live without?

Here's mine:

• 2 - 3 Romaine leaves
• 2 - 3 kale leaves
• 2 - 3 celery stalks
• 1 small Grannie Smith apple
• 1 small red apple
• 1" cube ginger
• 1/2 large cucumber
• 1/2 lemon
• 1/4 lime

Here's what I've learned:

• I love parsley in my green lemonade, but it just shoots right through my juicer without so much as a drop of juice. (sadness)
• I bought chopped kale from Trader Joe's last week and it pretty much does the same. Back to whole leaf kale this week.
• I can do without the lime, but green lemonade's just not the same without apples. Or ginger. Or lemon. 

I'm now kind of eager to try this variation. I may have just found a new use for those beets I picked up yesterday. I'll let you know how it turns out!

Until then, have a great weekend and I'll see you on Tuesday.

Happy Weekend!
