Juice everything together until smooth and vibrant.After juicing, taste the mixture and add the agave syrup, adjusting the sweetness to your liking. If you like your drinks on the sweeter side, you can add more agave syrup.

• Herbs: If you’re a fan of different herbs, try adding a sprig of basil for a unique spin.
