Raw Coach Top Tips:

• Keep in the fridge any you can’t drink, and enjoy it cool later. This recipe keeps well owing to the lemon and lime which help preserve it.

Feel free to swap spinach for another dark green leafy vegetable and/or use different fruit as you desire. Greens and fruit work very well together, especially when juiced or blended.

Laura-Jane, I thought the same as you, but it turns out clean up is a breeze! And I think I'm getting faster and faster at it.. it's an art form. haha.

Karen, I just discovered your blog. It's fantastic. I'm going to try out this juice recipe and highlight it on my raw juice blog (if that's okay with you! I'll of course cite your blog.)

That sounds divine. I don't make very many green juices. Actually, who am I kidding, I don't even have a juicer!

I think I am discouraged by the thought of cleaning the darn thing. Karen, you're inspiring me to get one!
