Blake Lively’s Intoxicating Detoxification Click here for a larger image Sweet, bitter, mild, and fresh—this drink marries many tastes into one beautifully proportioned, and completely addicting, combination. 1 cup kale 2 leaves Swiss chard 1/2 cup parsley 1/2 small beet 1/2 cup pineapple 2 medium green apples 1 sprig fresh mint 1/2 medium lemon, peeled Juice. I fancy myself as a foodie, because man, oh man, do I love to eat. I come from a Southern family, so my taste leans more towards butter and sugar than veggies; if they’re battered in cornmeal and fried, then I’m in! Growing up, I was interested in creative preparations of vegetables that were able to mask their flavor. Then a few years ago, I had a juice that changed it all for me—a mix that’s better than any po’ boy you’ll ever eat. The vegetables in their purest form are refreshing and palate cleansing, while the sweet notes of the fruits and mint make it both quenching and intoxicating. Now I can get my dose of veggies in a delicious way and feel proud doing it. And boy, does is counter the guilt I feel when pulling out the ice cream. —Blake Lively, actor
