I’ve never been much of a juicer but after drinking veggie/fruit shakes consistently for what seemed like forever it was time to switch things up to stay on my “eat good/feel good” plan.
I started using a Wolf Blender and man, this baby is POWERFUL. It’s got a 2.2 HP motor which makes chopping, blending and pureeing a breeze. I especially am in love with the 64 oz shatterproof container. I can now make big batches of things instead of 3-4 small batches. Oh, and the emulsion cup on the top lid is a nice touch which will definitely come in handy for homemade vinaigrettes.
I saw the word “Juicer” on the Wolf box so I had to create something to juice. I recently tried a juice my friend gave me and have been wanting to recreate but didn’t have a juicer. My Wolf Gourmet pureed all the veggies quickly and consistently. It also turned ice into snow which will be amazing for my Vietnamese desserts.
I worked out a few different recipes for a green juice and finally ended with the Green Dream. Check out the recipe below and let me know what you think.
Happy Eating (drinking)!

- 1 cup kale
- 4 Celery Stalks

- 3 Lemons Peel off the skin and put in the whole lemon or you can juice the lemon and put the juice into the mixer
- 2 Carrots Peel off the skin with a veggie peeler.. You can leave the skin on but I personally don't like the bitter taste so I peel

Ingredients

- Add the water first and then the rest of the ingredients. Sometimes I like to add a little tang with a cup of pineapple. The more you play around with ingredient amounts you'll determine what flavors you like more of and can adjust the measurements.
- I'm using the Wolf Gourmet Blender and selected the "puree" feature. Different blenders have different programs/features. If you are unsure just use manual until you get the desired consistency.
- I don't mind pulp in my fruit shakes but when I'm juicing I have to remove the pulp and run everything through a strainer before I put in a glass jar to store in the fridge. I also have to drink the Green Dream super cold but I don't recommend storing the juice for more than 24 hours whether you are using a masticating or centrifugal juicer.
