Leftover Green CSA Juice

The best time of spring and fall in the CSA season are all the fresh kale, cabbage, collards and other leafy greens you receive from your CSA. Yet getting veggies week after week tends to allow some of them to get a little withered after a few days.

Rather than forcing yourself to eat all the greens that aren’t yet ‘bad’, make them into a delicious juice! I’ve been perfecting this one over the past few months.
