Local farmers’ markets surround this Southern California hotspot—Culina Restaurant—halfway between the temperate Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Here, a modern chef puts vegetables front and center on the new juice-bar menu at Squeezed.

Ingredients:

2-4 stalks of kale
1 handful basil (with stalks)
1 handful mint (with stalks)
1/4 cantaloupe (no seeds)
1 green apple
1/2 cucumber
3 stalks of celery

Directions:

“I alternate with hearty greens such as kale and fennel to add flavor, more fiber and added texture,” says James. “At home, place ingredients into a juicer and serve in a tall glass for a healthy, anytime snack.”

Culina Restaurant at the Four Seasons, Beverly Hills, CA
