my first juice

Having a small apartment in NYC there are not many things that I can think of to ask for during Christmastime that we have room for.  But this year I had my heart set on a juicer and thank you Mom and Dad for my our new juicer!  Our Breville Compact Juice Fountain is the perfect juicer for a small apartment.  Compact but powerful and easy to clean, I love it!  This is the first juice I made, and it's also a great introductory juice for anyone looking to take their first try into green juices.d 

TIP:  Apples are a sweet base for a great tasting green juice.  Start with sweet red varieties like honeycrisp or gala when first trying out greeen juice to up the sweet factor.  Experiment with what you like.   I usually use two granny smith apples now because I like the tartness!
