    Super Green Morning Tonic

    Posted: Jan 23, 2017 · Updated: Oct 19, 2020 by Jenny McGruther · This site earns income from ads, affiliate links, and sponsorships.

    Vividly green in color, this super green tonic packs a whopping punch of antioxidants in one delicately sweet and tart, lusciously smooth morning juice.  Lime and tart green apple provide the tonic's base and temper the assertive bitter notes of antioxidant-rich wheatgrass, while both mint and parsley provide a gorgeous, clean finish.

    Green Tonics Pack in the Antioxidants

    Green tonics like this one that's made with plenty of phytonutrient-rich foods like wheatgrass and fresh herbs provide plenty of antioxidants in an easy form.  And while juices, like this one, aren't a replacement for eating your fruits and vegetables, they certainly give you a boost of nutrition and serve as a pleasant way to start the day.

    • 2 limes
    • 1 ounce sprigs of fresh mint
    • 1 ounce sprigs of fresh parsley
    • ½ ounce wheatgrass

    Instructions

    • Chop the apples coarsely so that they fit into the feeder tube of your juicer easily. Remove the rind of the lime with a sharp paring knife, and then chop the lime so that it fits into the feeder tube of your juicer.
    • Juice the apples, lime, mint, parsley and wheatgrass into a pitcher, stir in the collagen peptides and pour the juice evenly into two glasses.

      Could you just make a smoothie out of it? I don't have a juicer but i do have a very good blender.

        Hi Mary,

        The mint and apple help to cut that bitter edge of wheatgrass (I love it and hate it too!)
