    Drdoolittle:  I make it each time.  To obtain the best nutritional value, the juice should be consumed within 20 minutes of juicing.  It is work, but worth it.  Kale is a great food for fighting breast cancer.

    In terms of quanity, I usually use 1 lemon, 1 apple, 5-6 cabbage leaves and 5-6 kales leaves.  Serves 2.  I use organic fruits and vegetables so that I do not have to peel them during prep. To juice greens,you must use a masticating juicer.

    At some point I will be experimenting with a watercress based drink.

    Drdoolittle: I drink this juice in addition to breakfast :). It is best to drink on an empty stomach for maximum benefit. Enjoy!

    I make a smoothie in the morning with kale, broccoli, baby spinach, blueberries, and pineapple.  Talk about cancer-fighting! 

    My fav sandwich in the world is a veggie sandwich on Ezekial bread with homemade hummus, red peppers, onion, baby spinach, avocado, and broccoli sprouts.

     Hummus recipe:

    1 can 15oz chickpeas

    2 cloves of garlic (or more, if you likes it spicy)

    2 TBsp of tahini

    2 TBsp of olive oil

    5-6 TBsps of lemon juice (generally the juice of one juicy lemon or two non--juicy ones)

    1tsp of cumin

    salt to taste.

    Drain chickpeas, reserving 1/4 cup of liquid.  In a food processor, process all of the ingredients except for the liquid.  Stop processor, add liquid, and process again. (Don't know why that step is necessary, but it's in there.)

    I just discovered this - 1 cup kidney beans no juice (soak 'um overnight and cook with seasoning), 1 cup brown rice cooked, 1/2 red pepper diced, 1/2 cup cabbage diced, 1/2 red onion diced.  Put in bowl, add at least 3 tablespoons unfiltered apple cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons olive oil, a little salt and pepper.  Mix and refrigerate overnight.  Good snack.

    Nice, Omaz!  Gotta love the beans - so good for you.  I make a three bean chili - I will dig out the recipe once I move (moving on Thursday) and post it.  It combines beans AND cooked tomatoes, which are both important cancer fighters.  And so delicious!
