At home juicing and health smoothies
May 8th, 2012, Write comment »
Lately you can’t turn anywhere without hearing about the health benefits of juicing or making power smoothies.
If you juice here’s a great recipe for a simple detox:
Start with a juicer like Power Juicer and add:
6 trimmed asparagus stalks
1/2 lemon (peel intact)
1/2 of peeled cucumber
Juice. You may replace the asparagus with endive & watercress if desired.
I personally would also add a little parsley or cilantro if you have that on hand. Those herbs are reported to be excellent when it comes to cleansing and detoxing.
If you want to create a health smoothie, start with a high-power blender like the Health Master Elite and make the following Green Machine smoothie:
- 1 head lettuce
- 8 stalks parsley
- 2 stalks celery
- 1/4 lb. spinach
- 2 green apples
Add all ingredients to the Health Master (or similar) and blend at high speed (number 8 on Health Master) until ingredients are blended.
Juicing and doing smoothies is an excellent way to ensure getting in all the vitamins and nutrients your body needs.
Do you juice or make health smoothies? Do you have a favorite recipe?
