Fresh pressed juices can be a delicious way to get a quick shot of micronutrients. Keep in mind, however, that when you extract juice from fruits and veggies, you’re leaving behind beneficial fiber in the process. Also, to avoid sugar overload, stick to juices with more veggies as the base, and turn to ingredients like ginger to balance out any overly “green” flavor. Go ahead and give this green based juice a try!

Emerald-green lacinato kale is the star of this healthy kale salad, tossed with an easy maple, mustard and apple cider vinaigrette and studded with crisp apples. Toss or massage the kale with the dressing about 30 minutes before you’re ready to serve. The sturdy kale leaves won’t wilt from the dressing and will taste even better after they’ve been marinated in it.
