It doesn't have to feel like green juice homework.
I recently tried the Hardcore Greens bottled juice at Erewhon and couldn't finish it. Apparently there's a market for torturous green juices. But if you're into it, you can eat a concentrated burst of vegetables and fruits for a healthy diet without it tasting like green gas.
Green vegetables are a green, friendly and fun food that is intended to bring joy in any form, just like chocolate or cotton candy, but with exactly the opposite nutritional value. And so I take mine: a spicy Mexican-style jugo verde that contains vegetables, green seasonal fruits, herbs, a few watery vegetables and fresh citrus juice.
You will spend most of your time here trimming and cutting. (I feed all of my organic raw food scraps into my stormy composting system.) The only non-negotiable ingredient is the opuntia cactus or prickly pear paddle. You can buy it in Latin American supermarkets like Northgate and Vallarta, or in many corner produce stores or carnicerías. Increasingly, some mainstream markets are also selling cacti. Look for raw, dethorned paddles; Sometimes the nopal is sliced.
Some notes:
Avoid: Don't use the darkest, toughest leafy greens like kale or chard for this recipe. Don't use lettuce. Do not use cooked or pickled nopales, only raw. Do not use non-green stems or seeds.
Storage: Store in jars in the coolest part of your refrigerator for up to three days. Do not freeze.
