Melissa’s Organic Green Juice Box

Imagine what a nice surprise it is to walk in the door and see this wonderful organic green juice box from Melissa’s. It’s like opening an indoor garden:

What’s in the Box?

This Organic Green Juice Box is a featured delivery item from Melissa’s. The contents of the box will vary by season. But you can be sure that each month it will contain 7-11 pounds of mostly leafy green organic vegetables, plus three organic apples, one organic lemon, one piece of organic ginger and one bulb of organic garlic.

And it’s a real steal – The box is $43 and the shipping is free for Southern Californians anywhere from Santa Barbara to San Diego. (There’s an extra shipping charge for outside the Southern California area.) You can order the box weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or as needed. They will help you do whatever it takes to get your greens in daily.

Not a juicer? That’s OK too – we didn’t use ours for juicing either. But we did use those glorious greens for some kale chips, a collard-greens-and-wild-rice dish, and a chard curry. Meanwhile, our kids stood by munching on the apples.

Turning Greens into Pesto

Oh, and of course we made pesto. Every time we get our hands on greens we make pesto. This time we made kale-pistachio pesto. (Simple recipe: Take 1 bunch kale leaves, trimmed of ribs, 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, and kosher salt to taste. Blend together until smooth). We slathered it on steak sandwiches with olive bread:

This produce box is one of the biggest and best of its kind we’ve seen. Plus, once you enjoy the treat of having it delivered to your door, you won’t want to go a week without one.

Blogger Disclosure: I was not compensated for this post. Melissa’s sent me a complimentary box. All opinions expressed are my own.

      Yep. I’m having a little withdrawal now. Clearly once is not enough. : )
