About The Recipe
Okay, I’m gonna be honest. I’m always looking for something different to drink, something other than just another soda (or a large mug of hot cocoa)! My issue always seem to be that when I buy something… It doesn’t taste good.
I have personally tried so many “green juices” in the last few years. All of them having different combinations. Some are much too bitter, some way too sweet, some are plain flat too… green.
And, at this point, it’s kinda getting tiring. I just want something with a lot of flavor and not too sweet, you know?
So, I dug around in my refrigerator and found a few things that needed to be used up anyways.
It turns out that I somehow managed to create exactly what I was looking for on the first try! I was super happy with the outcome.
But, I wanted to make sure I wasn’t being biased. So, I walked around my house and let my family take a sip. I didn’t tell them what was in it because I wanted an honest opinion.
It was love at first sip! It was a winner with my whole family. I actually had to make a few more drinks just so they could have one of their own.

Substitutions
