When it comes to juicing, my ingredients are usually dictated by what I find in my refrigerator. However, in an effort to keep me excited about juicing, i.e. choose a green juice over a cup of coffee, I need to mix it up. Below are a few variations for your juicing regimen.
Basic Green Vegetable Juice:
- 2-3 stalks of celery
- 2-3 leaves of kale – discard the stalk before juicing
- 1 cucumber – peeled if not organic
- 4-5 leaves of lettuce
- 2 handfuls of spinach
- handful of parsley or spinach
- juice from 1/2 lemon
Post Work-Out: (alkaline, sodium, calcium, electrolytes – it’s all there)
- 1 cucumber
- 2-3 ribs of celery
- 1 green or sour apple
- 3-4 leaves of kale
- 1/2 inch of ginger
- 1 tsp soy sprouts (optional)
Stress Alleviator: (provides sodium potassium balance to keep you centered + alkaline minerals that promote a calming effect in the body)
- 5 leaves of kale
- 1/2 head green cabbage
- 1/2 loose leaf lettuce
