Recipes!

Here are some recipes from sites that have helped my hubby and me. I put the link to the sites under each set  so if you want to check out more from that site, you can get straight to it! If you try any of these recipes, please leave a comment letting us know what you thought of the recipe you tried. :)

Also, if you try any combination of fruits/veggies that I haven't copy/pasted here, please feel free to add those in the comment section also. I know I get tired of the same juices over and over!


Everyday Energizer

4 carrots, tops and tails chopped off
4 stalks celery, chop ends off
small handful of parsley, juice stems as well
1 small zuchhini, tops and tails chopped off
1/2 of a small beet, tops and tails chopped off
1/2 inch nub of fresh ginger
1/4 lemon peeled
Push all through the juicer and drink up!

Alkalizing Green Juice

I drank this one at least once a day, sometimes twice
1/2  cucumber (skin still on if organic)
4 stalks of celery
2 Large handfuls of greens(spinach, kale, swiss chard, beet greens, arugula, watercress, turnip greens, etc)
1-2 cloves of garlic peeled or 1/2 inch nub of fresh ginger
1/2 lemon peeled
Push all through the juicer.  Juice the greens by pushing them down with the cucumber or celery.

Peach berry cocktail

 I try to drink as many alkalizing vegetables on a juice fast as possible, but just to mix it up I usually add one glass of fruit juice during a cleanse.   Always dilute fruit juice with water to avoid blood sugar issues.
2 peaches, cut in half, seeds removed
1 orange, peeled with a vegetable peeler keeping as much pith on as possible
1/2 cup blueberries, raspberries, or cherries, pitted
Push fruit through the juicer.  Then add 1/2 cup purified water to dilute.

Super cleanser

3 handfuls of any green (spincah, kale, water cress, lettuce, etc)
1/2 cup organic broccoli
4 carrots, tops and tails removed.
Push all through the juicer and enjoy your green juice glow!
