2nd Juice of the Day - With Swiss Chard!

I think tomorrow I will strictly be juicing & thinking of alternating juicing days. It'll be good. I just hope Christmas falls on a non juicing day! lol. Here is what I had for lunch today.





Ingredients

1 cup kale
2 swiss chard leaves
1/4 cup parsley
2 apples
2 carrots
1 orange

I have learned that kale & some greens don't let out a whole lot of juice, however there is a ton of nutrients in the juice that it does produce, so enjoy!!! Again, this made approx 25-30 oz of juice.
