My Green Juice Recipe and The Benefits!
I recently started juicing and I’ve made my own green juice. It’s yummy and has a lot of health benefits to start your day!
Don’t have a juicer? No problem use your blender it will do the job just as well. Now what I do to avoid chopping these things everyday is I chop enough for a week full of juicing then I freeze my ingredients to use for the following day. Freezing the items allows the drink to be cold without being water down with tons of ice.
What you will Need:
Fruits:
1 Slice of Pineapple Cubed
1 Whole Kiwi Cubed
1/2 Apple Cubed
Vegetables:
1/2 of Cucumber Cubed
1/2 of Celery Stalk Cubed
Herbs:
1 tbsp of Minced Ginger
2 tsp of Chopped Parsley
1 tsp of Chopped Mint
Natural Sweetener:
Add tbsp of Honey

What attracted me to this juice was I have a horrible immune system and I get sick quickly. I also like the fact that I am taking in the proper amount of vegetables and fruits.
When using a blender the mixture will be a bit chunky. If you don’t like the solids you can pour the blended mixture in a fine sieve to extract the liquid. I don’t mind the pulp so I pour it up and drink it. I hope you give it a try.
Watch me Make one:
