Clean Greens

Clean Greens is the stripped-down end of the green-juice shelf, aimed at people who want vegetables first and sweetness kept out of the way. By our assessment, its strength is clarity: these juices usually taste direct, with leafy notes, cucumber or celery-type freshness, and little of the candy-like finish found in fruit-heavy blends. The honest limit is that this style can be blunt, even grassy, and it does not try to flatter anyone with dessert-like fruitiness. In practice it is the sort of drink that is meant to be cold, fast, and unaccompanied by much ceremony. Compared with sweeter green blends, it is less easygoing but more to the point. The 294330 and 87 in the name are catalogue markers, and it is filed under juices.
