Green Apple Veggie Juice [Dairy Free & Gluten Free]

 

 

Doesn’t look like much here but some green juice right? Wrong! Well not totally wrong, it is green. ;)

In this glass contains 5 different green fruit and veggies that make this green juice some powerful stuff! Filled with vitamins and nutrients and tastes like a green apple, you’d never know it has good for you veggies in it.

Drink this in the morning and you will be setting yourself up for a fabulous day of energy and a clean feeling inside, like you’re cleaning out all the junk and starting fresh with this glass of goodness. Your body will thank you. :)

 

 

Whether you’re “into” green smoothies or not, this is super healthy and should be given at least a chance in your life for the mere fact that you can say you tried it! I bet though you actually WILL like it and you will be quite surprised at how good it really is!

I can’t really call it a smoothie as there is no dairy like yogurt or milk to make it creamy, so hence the juice name. BUT I can guarantee you this tastes MUCH better than V-8 vegetable juice from a can!

About Brenda

Hi! Welcome! My name is Brenda and I am a mom to 3 beautiful children, a puppy and a picky husband who I absolutely adore after almost 15 years! Over the course of the last 25 years of my life, (Yikes I'm feeling OLD!) and numerous diet failures, yo-yo-ING weight, crying and praying to God for a solution to maintain a healthy weight and stop the cravings, I have come to the decision that I simply cannot have certain sugars in my life! (To read my full story see, MY SUGAR-FREE JOURNEY.) YES, it is true, no white sugar and other products that contain it. BUT that has not stopped me from enjoying this life! My passion is cooking and I love entertaining friends and family, which makes it pretty cool that I can always try out new, healthy (insert sneaky laugh here) recipes on them!! SO finally after quite some years experimenting and creating recipes without white sugar and white flour, and receiving requests for these very recipes, this blog has come to be! If you are a woman who has recently lost weight and desires to maintain it, you will find encouragement and fabulous recipes here! If you a mom who is struggling to take that baby weight off, you will find help here! You may not even need to lose weight but you desire healthier recipes for yourself and family, you are at the right place! If you still desire to get to that goal weight (yep, that's me!) but still love to entertain (me again!) and don't know what to make, seek no further-- Sugar-Free Mom is the site for you my friend! Come on in and enjoy! Blessings, Brenda

  1. you dont find the celery overpowering? My mom has a juicer and I find that you truly cant taste spinach, and lemon and cucumber are so refreshing but ever a TINY bit of celery overwhelmed every previous combo (even juices with a lot of fruit)

  5. Hi! First-timer on your site & I am loving it! Question regarding your smoothies: Is it OK to add in whey protein, the unflavored kind? not wanting to take away from any of the nutritional value of the veggies. thanks!

  7. Even though I like them, Grapes, cucumbers and sometimes green apples cause me serious stomach pains when I eat them in their natural state. In a smoothie are they less offensive? I know I would like it but don’t want to suffer.

    • Well I can’t say you won’t still have issues or not but a smoothie changes their state and makes it more digestible so it may not effect you as eating them whole.
