6 Healthy Spring
Cleanse Juicing
Recipes to Rid the
Body of Toxins
Spring is known all around the world as
the time of year when new beginnings
are abound. In many places, winter
fosters a more stagnant lifestyle fueled
by heavy foods, excessive intake of
alcohol and a lack of fresh air. Spring is
also the mark of a new growing season,
which creates an abundance of local
produce for most regions. It’s the best
time to up your intake of fresh fruits and
vegetables and there is no better way to
renew your body’s internal balance
than to juice. To help you get started,
we’ve complied several healthy juicing
recipes, so that you have plenty of
options to choose from as you begin this
new season.
Whether cleanses are your thing, or you
just prefer to consume an abundance of
fruits and veggies by juicing each day,
these healthy juicing recipes will aid in
nourishing and ridding your body of
toxins.
Ultimate Green Juice
I drink this juice daily, and with good reason. The base is
celery, which is a little known nutritional powerhouse. It’s
loaded with potassium, folic acid, magnesium, calcium,
iron, phosphorus and essential amino acids. On top of all
that, it’s one of the most alkalizing things you can put in
your body. To the celery, I add kale, green apple, parsley,
lime, lemon and ginger, creating an extremely potent,
detoxifying cocktail.
Ingredients:
1 bunch celery
4-5 kale leaves (preferably lacinato)
1 green apple
one big handful of flat leaf parsley leaves
1 lime
1 lemon
1 inch of fresh ginger
*Add one tablespoon of Organic Coconut Oil for additional
health benefits.
Beet Apple
and Blackberry Juice
Ingredients:
3 small beets
2-3 apples
8 oz. blackberries
1/2 inch fresh ginger
