Kale Juice Recipe

We've been juicing a lot of kale this week, about half a pound a day!

Mmmm, breakfast.

Here's the recipe:

• 1/2 lb kale chopped fine, including the tough midribs (this loosely fills one of my large salad bowls)
• 2 green apples, cored (put these through the machine with the kale to help it process)
• 1/2 inch ginger
• 7-8 carrots

It is pretty much the perfect balance for a really green juice, and fills 2 pint glasses to the brim.  The pulp goes straight into the worm composting bin, so it'll get recycled to grow even more kale.

I've been trying to empty out the "winter greens" raised bed so I can put the new batch o' plants in there, and didn't realize exactly how much produce was in there!  All those plants are bolting and scraggly after having been grown and harvested all winter, but it's still been slow going.  I can either spend another week juicing, or have a big blanching-and-freezing session, but I think we are done with kale salads for now.

I am really excited to have an "excess" of something so early in the season.  I'll just keep this recipe here, for the next time that we have too much kale and too little time.
