Juicing Recipe #1

I've really enjoyed juicing for the past few months.  At first, I started off by only drinking these fruit and vegetable juices all day as a fast because I really needed it.  But now I've successfully incorporated these deliciously healthy juices into a regular diet and they fill me with lots of nutrients and energy! I am now currently trying to actively lose weight (for the first time since starting this blog), so I drink this as a small meal every single day. #Winning.  As a first reminder, even though juicing removes the fiber from the fruits and vegetables, it allows you to consume them in large quantities and allows your body to absorb an abundance of vitamins and minerals into the bloodstream very VERY quickly. As a second reminder, try to buy produce in season to save some money!

Here is one of my favorite recipes!

Ingredients:
2 carrots
1 cucumber
1 beet root
1 stalk of celery
1 bunch of spinach
1/2 pear
small piece of ginger root or a few drops of lemon for a boost

This mixture is packed with anti-oxidants, immune boosters, blood cleansers.  The ingredients are anti-carginogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-hypertensive. This drink will improve your blood circulation and digestion, decrease cholesterol, cleanse your intestines, strengthen your bones, encourage cell reproduction, and prevent heart disease.
