Recipe #3 "Mistress of Citrus"

This may be my favorite recipe yet. The lemon and lime make it taste like purple lemonade, except it's really healthy... unlike lemonade...Obv. 

In other news,recipe titles aren't getting any better. Or are they??? (raised eye-brow)

  Mistress of Citrus    

♔1Large  lemon

♔1Large lime

♔2 pears

♔2 apples

♔3 carrots

♔2” ginger root

♔4 cups purple cabbage

♔1 heaping handful of spinach

♔8 oz of strongly steeped Yerbamate (ice it before adding)

 Don't forget to cut the peels off the lemon and lime before juicing, and to cut the ginger into small pieces so it doesn't get stuck on the blades. ENJOY!

P.S. The purple cabbage is literally NEON purple. Made me smile. Hope it makes you smile too :)

Recipe #2

Alright, I may be having way too much fun naming these recipes, but I'm enjoying myself. This is a really healthy one that's a play on the staple juice for the Juice fast used in "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead."

Dean of Green

✠1/3 can white grape concentrate

✠1 cup grapes

✠1 cucumber

✠1/8 lemon slice

✠1 apple

✠2 celery sticks

✠1 inch ginger root

✠3 large handfuls of kale

✠Coconut juice

If you have trouble juicing the Kale, break the stems off and just use the leaves. 

Juicing = Healthy Weight Loss Quickly

Just watched "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead." It's an award winning documentary about two severely overweight men who are close to death because of their eating habits. They go on a 60 day Green Juicing binge to try and save their lives and lose over 60 pounds each in the process, in just 60 days. In addition to their weight loss, they find they have more energy and are basically just happier people. It's kind of the anti "Super Size Me." Several other people in the film just do 10 day Juice fasts and lose amazing amounts of weight. 

Everyone in my family, including myself, have noticed weight loss just from replacing breakfast with a Green Smoothie and a hard boiled egg on the side. (Sometimes I even add in an English muffin as a treat ;) ) The coolest thing about Green Juicing is that you feel full. I never feel like I'm starving myself or dieting at all because all the fruits and vegetables fill you up. 

What to go down a dress size or trim the love handles? 

JUICE! JUICE! JUICE!

Recipe #1

So here's my first recipe! 
You literally just shove the fruits and vegetables into the juicer and push them down with the food pusher. It works like magic.

Let me know what you think :)

Join the Revolution!

I just received my first Juicer from my Mom and Dad. It's a Bella 13454 Juicer/Juice Exeactor, and it is now the coolest kitchen tool in my cabinet.

This baby has changed my diet for the better and is drastically helping in improving my health. It's so easy to use and gives you an overwhelming amount of fruits and vegetables in a tasty way. After a large glass of Green Juice in the morning, I'm full for a good 5 hours or more straight. I crave less fatty fried food and find I have much more energy.

I made this blog for other's to join the Juicing Revolution and to put out some cool recipes for newbies to try. Here it goes!!!

Bon Appetite
