Jumpstart your summer health kick with green juice! Here’s the best juice to order at a juice bar, plus six Chicago juice bars you’ll love.
There’s nothing better in the summer than a fresh green juice.
It’s so easy to grab a pre-made juice out of the fridge at your favorite local juice bar, but if you’re making your own drink, it can be tricky to put together the perfect combo of flavors so your juice doesn’t end up tasting like grass.
After a few orders gone wrong, I’ve finally settled on the perfect combo of fresh greens and fruits that I literally crave when I haven’t had it in a while.
Here’s my go-to green juice order:
- Spinach
- Kale
- Romaine
- Cucumber
- Pineapple
- Green apple
You can also toss in some mixed herbs like cilantro or parsley for an extra flavor boost. This combo is full of fiber, iron, magnesium and countless vitamins that help flush out toxins and refresh your skin. And the green apple and pineapple add just the right amount of sweetness to balance out all the greens.
Want to recreate this juice at home? Heavy up on the cucumber and green apple and add handfuls of all the greens along with a few pineapple chunks. I’m finally putting my Juicepresso juicer to use, and will share some of my favorite at-home recipes soon!
