Health Benefits of Collard Greens
Collard greens taste so delicious raw, and I’m not just saying that. When developing this recipe, I was seriously worried about the taste! The taste isn’t overpowering at all and taste very nice (almost sweet!) with the other produce in this recipe.
Most people (specifically Americans) eat collard greens cooked up as a Thanksgiving side. However upon researching, collard greens have so many health benefits in their raw state.
Collard greens are very high in Vitamin K which may help to strengthen our bones. They also have good amounts of calcium and help to boost the stomach’s digestion.
Recommended Juicer
I make all of my juices with one of the best slow coldpress juicers in the world, the Kuvings REVO830. It is a bit pricey but has a generous 15 year warranty and can also make nut milks, sorbet, ice cream, and of course juices.
The pulp produced is also extremely dry which means you get the most out of your money.When I had a cheaper high speed juicer, the pulp was extremely wet and I had to run it through several times. Kuvings also offers other models at affordable prices as well as a monthly payment plan.

How to make collard greens juice
Step One:
Wash your produce properly and allow to soak in baking soda and vinegar for at least 15 minutes. This will help to remove any dirt residue, pesticides, or bugs that may be on the fruit/veg. Cut your produce according to you juicer/blender size.
Step Two:
Juicer: Juice the product in the juicer and strain if necessary.
Blender: Juice the oranges by hand or orange squeezer. Add the orange juice and extra coconut water if needed and blend with the fresh produce until everything is combined.
How to store collard greens juice
Storing depends on the method of juice extraction. If using a blender/high speed juicer, the juice should be consumed right away. These methods only allow the juice to keep its nutrients for 30 minutes up to one day. However, if you use a cold press juicer, the nutrients will also for up to 72 hours or 3 days.
Freezing is also a method. Store in a BPA free plastic water bottle (NOT GLASS!) and freeze for up to 2 weeks. When its time to consume, let it thaw out for a few hours and enjoy!
