It's not cheap to juice. You need a juicer. In addition there are variable costs. Coconut water (stuff isn't cheap) and vegetables. I buy organic (definitely not cheap). I go to farmers markets and try to stock up on seasonal stuff, but I have to have my mean green. I have that 2x a day -- every day.
So, what is the cost of just my mean green. Here's a breakdown.
Kale (16 leaves) $2.99
Cukes 2 $3.00
8 celery sticks $1.00
4 apples $1.00
1 lemon $0.40
2" ginger $0.30
I add a head of romaine
Romaine $1.00
This makes 64 oz. of juice for me. That is 2 servings each for my husband and I.
So, let's round to $10 for the ingredients. I divide that by 4 so that's $2.50 per meal. I have four 16 oz. servings a day, so that's about $10 a day. Is it cheap, no. Is it worth it yes!
