Wild Thing Green Juice Recipe and the Benefits of Juicing!
2013
My juice challenge of getting out the juicer and juicing every day is going strong over here. I have not been posting every juice, and I have not been taking pictures of every juice. But I have been taking pictures of several of them, and posting my favorites. This one was a winner. I felt like I was getting creative and juiced a fennel bulb along with pineapple and a pear. It was So good!!
I bought the fennel bulb from a local organic farmer who was telling me how easy it is to grow fennel here. I live in the north and our growing season is short. But fennel seems to be hardy. The thing to watch with fennel he said, is that it doesn’t have many other plants that like to grow with it. The fennel is a solitary guy, although he really likes mint. However mint can really take over so you have to watch where you plant that too. Ah, the fun of companion planting and sorting out the drama filled lives of plants! 
I posted these Benefits of Juicing in my last newsletter, but I will share it here as well.
You can get my newsletter by clicking here. I send it out every second Sunday and it’s filled with inspiration, love and a new recipe in each one!
