Start the Day with Green Juice

I figured out what my standard green juice runs in calories, ready?
It's pretty cool!

1. spinach 1c = 7 cal
2. romaine 1c = 8 cal
3. celery 1c = 16 cal
4. apple 1 = 55 cal
5. lemon 1 = 61 cal (I use half)
5. cuke 1/2 = 8 cal
6. kale 1c = 34 cal (more than other greens)

if you add carrots, it's 30 calories per. If you add a beet, it's 58 calories.

My big ol green juice is 2c spinach, 2c romaine, 1/2 cucumber, 1c kale, 3c celery, 1 apple, 1/2 a lemon. Slice of ginger is 2 calories.

That means my big green juice is only 207 calories!
