Michael Simmons says
Thank you for such an original recipe! This is definitely a great alternative to a boring green juice with spinach and cabbage that adults can drink for health maintenance, but children never like it. I will definitely prepare this juice by your recipe and try to give it to my children. I think they will like it.
