When it comes to my closet, you will not find anything green amongst my black, grey and white wardrobe, but in regards to food - green might just be one of my favorite colors!Greens juice is definitely something I crave. In fact, my entire little family craves it! Nothing like hearing "Greens please!" to bring a big smile to my face. So every few days, the juicer comes out of hiding, and the stacks of greens (kale, parsley, cucumber, and celery) along with fresh flavor enhancers such as apple, ginger, lemon, and lime gather upon the kitchen counter waiting their juicing fate.
Depending on the season and local availability, the ingredients may vary, but the one constant is the color because GREEN = vitamins, minerals and healthy living galore! MMM good!

Are you growing kale in your garden? I wanted to get some planted this year but we've been making do with chard planted last spring which keeps going and going and going....
ReplyDeleteDon't have a juicer, but this might just inspire me to get one.
Wow, this post just made me so thirsty for something refreshing. I love the way you did the photo layout as well. Just beautiful and "fresh" feeling.
ReplyDeletewe are going to pull out our juicer tonight and let the fun begin!
ReplyDeletethis looks so amazing, I love ginger! so very great for you!!
ReplyDeleteWell aren't you a good girl! I lack color in my wardrobe AND in my food. :-) My little one loves edamame so that's my 'go to' veggie choice.
ReplyDeletei can't say that i've ever craved green juice but i'm really trying to be better this year about my veggie intake.
ReplyDeleteGosh, those photos, especially the one of the juice, really makes me want to go eat a whole plate of veggies. so fresh and yummy looking! we have a juicer and love it. when you add beets the juice turns the prettiest pink colour, and my son will eat pure cucumber juice. crazy. ;)
ReplyDeleteyummy. i love all of those components in my greens juice. if i just had a juicer.
ReplyDeleteEating lots of greens regularly makes such a difference to your health, mood and overall complexion. Whenever I start eating more greens I notice a difference instantly. I have a blender for making smoothies (also very good!). Now I want a juicer as well.
ReplyDeleteGreen is one of my favorite colors to wear AND eat!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to venture into the wide world of juicing but you've got me convinced!
Greens with a splash of ginger sounds absolutely divine! So fresh.
Hi Mel, your lovely collage of pictures has me just about ready to whip out the juicer/blender!! I love love love green, wearing it, eating it and living as green as possible. Wishing you and your family a very healthy 2010!!

This is so funny, because my favorite colors are french-gray and celedon! My wardrobe consists of mountains of black and white, but every now and again you'll find something in a grassy hue! I painted one of our kitchen's "dill pickle" and it makes me smile every time I walk in it! And green juice, excellent. I just got the newsletter from GOOP.com, and there are wonderful recipes for a detox which include some great green elixers!
ReplyDeleteSo timely for me because I'm about to start a new diet/lifestyle that is all about the leafy greens!!!! YAY!
ReplyDeleteI love my greens! my body absolutely can't go without them everyday.
ReplyDeleteHaha there isn't too much green in my wardrobe either but green is definitely very good when it comes to food.
ReplyDeletei love green too! in my house, in my food, not always in my clothes but i won't say no because it's such a lively color.
ReplyDeletei wish i could drink that green concotion. looks like wheat grass...and i love wheat grass! i'm sure it tastes better though :)
I would love to love greens it's my goal to be healthier I hope I can change. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fresh post. : )
ReplyDeleteYummy! We`ve been having fun with a new juicer we were given. My favourite so far is carrot, apple, pineapple and ginger. That green juice just looks so healthy too - your 3-5 a day in a glass!
ReplyDeleteI just love green in just about everything!
ReplyDeleteoh yes ! this is just what i need Mel !! thank you for this very refreshing greenery...Love the phrase "juicy fate" !! :-)
ReplyDeletexoxo
Sounds wonderful, i think my whole family needs more greens! this is an easy way to get them...
ReplyDeletesuch vibrant color! And we are on the same wavelength ~ I'm also a girl with a white / gray / and black wardrobe, but love to see green fill my plate and kitchen!
ReplyDeletelet me know when they start making green wine and i'll be all over it.

I love green juices! Bring on the spirulina and wheat grass! But I also have a lot of green in my closet too :)
ReplyDeleteMy corporate colours are lime green and white so these photos are great. I associate green with freshness and vitality. In fact I probably need to eat my greens at the moemnt and combat my cold!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of this - but I'm not so great with the execution part...
ReplyDeleteI started drinking green juices this summer. I was addicted. They're so refreshing and delicious. Thanks for posting (your house looks amazing).
ReplyDeleteI love the pic - makes me want to go out and buy a juicer now! I've been thinking about it, so I just need to do it! I'm one of Kellie's (Cashon & CO.) friends and she knew I would love your blog- I do!!
