For some reason my kids have been on a juice strike. Yes, even in my house, kids will go on strike and want nothing to do with this amazing juice.
I have been offering it to them regularly but they turn up their noses, say “No”! and run to the other room.
It’s been about 2 months that they have been on strike, until this morning. As I was making my morning green juice, I put aside a concoction of cucumber with kale and added a little stevia. I put some juice in a little syringe and offered it to my son.
He was so excited to have his juice in a syringe that he wanted to drink the rest himself, with a little cup and syringe of course. He finished his green juice and said, “Mommy, more! More!”
I wanted to do a cartwheel, but of course, I composed myself. Together, we made some more cucumber and kale juice. Between him and my daughter, they finished 1 1/2 large cucumbers and several leaves of kale!
Cucumber is excellent for the skin and helps with eczema flare-outs due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Kale is very good for building strong bones, highly nutritious and detoxifying because it is high in calcium, vitamin A & C, potassium, iron and chlorophyll. Stevia adds a natural sweetness without raising blood sugar.
I am so excited that they are back into green juice, but I do suspect its because they love the mechanics of using the syringe to drink the juice.
So, if you are having trouble getting juice into your kids, try to be creative and make it fun! You can use a syringe or a silly straw or something really fun!

Great Recipe! Will definitely try this for myself, after I get over with this tasty Organif Green Juice Recipe that have helped me make green juices in just 20 seconds and keep me powered up for the whole day at the cost of just $2 that is a lot less than the cost of a cup of coffee.
It contains Ashwagandha infused in coconut water with organic ingredients like chlorella and spirulina which is very rare to be found and frankly we cannot get these in substantial quantity when it comes to preparing green juices at home.
But sometimes just for the fun, I prepare green juices by myself. It as your post suggests is great for the immune system and even for the metabolism of our body. This, in turn, helps in cutting fat faster and thus keep you lean.
