My First Juice - Sour Green

I finally *FINALLY* got a juicer this weekend & I am super excited for so many reasons. With a lot of things going on that I cannot control, what I put into my body is one of the few things I can control, so I am going to take that & RUN with it! I love how it froths on top & gives you a mustache. Oh, it's the little things in life. Below is the recipe & I used, along with the nutritional information. 

Ingredients:

8 oz spinach 

2 carrots

1 grapefruit (I swear, this was the mother of all grapefruits!!! Local too!)

2 oranges

I can't remember off the top of my head how many oz this made, but I want to say around 25-30 oz & nutritional information is based on this recipe as a whole.
