With the juicing trend[1] in full force, juicers[2] are becoming some of the most desirable kitchen appliances. Though you can buy bottled juices[3] everywhere from specialty juice bars[4] to the local grocery store, their high price tags are making home juicing an increasingly popular option.

It's understandable why it can be so polarizing, considering most people prefer fruit-heavy juice to those concentrated with vegetables[5] . But the various health benefits[6] aren't the only reason you should embrace this fresh juice -- these delicious green juice recipes prove this drink doesn't have to be something you choke down. We promise, these nine recipes taste nothing like drinking grass.
