Fresh JUICE Variations

August 9th, 2015

 

Today’s Meal Prep Sunday, involved making several fresh  juices. 

Each one full of health benefits that will help improve  digestion, boost metabolism, increase energy, act as a natural diuretic, helps lower blood pressure, promote weight-loss, and give your skin a natural glow.  Just to name a few. 

NOTE:  I  love these Mason jars! They help keep our juices, smoothies, and anything that you want to prep in advance – nice and fresh. 

 I’m going to list what’s in each starting with the ORANGE one being JUICE #1.

Ingredients:  ORGANIC

Juice 1:

• 1 orange bell pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 lemon (skinned)
• 1 cucumber (skinned)
• 1 apple 
• *Spinach or Kale optional

Juice 2: (highlight ingredient RADISH)

• 1 bundle of radish
• 2 Apples
• 1 cucumber
• 1 lemon (skin on)
• 1 bunch parsley

This was my first time using radish in a juice recipe.  It’s pretty good!  Fresh and organic radishes  from the local farmers market. We will definitely use them again in other juices.

Health Benefits of Radish: 

*Naturally cooling (perfect for summer)

*Soothes sore throats (naturally)

*Prevents viral infections

*Eliminates toxins

*Low in calories – High in nutrients

Juice 3: 

• 1 golden beet
• 1 apple
• 1 bunch dinosaur kale
• 2 cucumber (whole)
• 1 lemon (whole)

Juice 4:

• 1 cucumber 
• 1 apple
• 2 chioggia beets(skinned) – found at Whole Foods
• 1 lemon whole
• 1 bunch dinosaur Kale

Instructions:

1. Choose the recipe of your choice. Add ingredients to the juicer. JUICE, POUR, ENJOY right away OR store in a Mason jar in the refrigerator and enjoy later.  

Note: We usually try to drink all juices within 3 days of making them.
