Inspired to add more fiber to my green juice, this recipe combines both a juice and a smoothie in one! There are appliances out there that both blend and juice which are super cool but not necessary to make this recipe. Adding fiber and some whole foods to green juice is the best of both worlds as you get the intense blast of nutrients but also the slow-moving / body-loving fiber-rich foods as well!
