This morning when I went to make my usual “green juice”

I realized that I didn’t have enough greens. So I decided to head over to Liquiteria (a juice bar in the east village that I’ve been meaning to try out) and see if their “all greens with apple” was similar to what I make in the morning.

Liquiteria has a menu of fresh squeezed juice, smoothies (that they call liquid meals), and fresh pressed juice. They also have a small take-out menu of sandwiches, wraps, soups, etc.

But I came for the juice! Now fresh squeezed juice would be what I make with my juicer at home, it has more body and is usually a little thicker than pressed juice, but it won’t last as long (you should drink it right away). When you find a place that sells pressed juice its usually made and bottled fresh, and will last a few days in the fridge.

Liquiteria has one of the bigger menus of pressed juices around:

kale, spinach, romaine, parsley, celery & cucumber

I picked up the all greens with apple because it sounded closest to what I usually make in the morning. I like the juice a lot, it’s a little sweeter than I usually make mine, so I’m eager to try just the all greens next time and see if I can handle cutting out the fruit completely.

Of course the downside to finding a juice place you like is that you will be lazy and buy juice when you could just make it for much less money. So hopefully this will only be a last resort for when I run out of produce.

Do you have a favorite juice place, or maybe a juice recipe that you think I should try?
