Green juices are a favorite around my house. By week’s end, there are surely some leftover greens, which make their way into the blender. Today I used microgreens. I can’t get enough of these beauties; I thought their soft leaves and subtle taste would be a satisfying addition to this juice. However, you can use any greens of your choice, be it chard, spinach, or kale. I threw in some mint, lemon juice, mango, and ginger, all for their therapeutic properties and a nutrient boost!

Mango, Ginger, and Microgreen Juice
Makes 1 drink

½ cup mixed microgreens
1 large sprig mint (approx. 6-8 large leaves)
1 mango, peeled and cut into chunks
1-inch piece of fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped rough
Juice from 1 lemon
5-6 coconut water ice cubes (you can also use water ice cubes)
Chia seeds
Extra mint leaves

Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend for about 1 minute. For a juice without pulp, pass the juice mixture through a fine mesh sieve over your glass. Garnish with chia seeds and mint, and drink immediately to your health! Enjoy!
