Drink Your Greens with Tasty Green Lemonade

In the pacific northwest, I am blessed to be able to garden year round. While I had a few crops not fare so well this year, my kale on the other hand is going crazy. I have about 10 plants, each 4-5 feet tall full of beautiful, leafy goodness. This may be my all time favorite way to consume kale. With almost 700% of the rda for vitamin K, 300% vitamin C and 180% Vitamin A, it's hard to go wrong.

• 3 small or 2 large lemons
• 1 cucumber
• 2 granny smith apples

1. Wash all ingredients thoroughly (even if using organic).
