Orange You Glowing Juice

I hope you all enjoyed your Easter!  

Did anyone make these cookies ??

I did… and I ate A LOT of them! 

I don’t usually eat any refined sugar…

BUT Easter and Christmas are for cut out cookies, at least that’s what Grandma always said, and Grandmas know!  So I ate my cookies… and I drank a little less water and a little more wine than usual... 

Needless to say, my tummy isn’t used to all that and I was feeling kinda gunky and like I needed a bit of an immune system boost.  My eczema kinda freaks when my diet is off so I needed some skin loving alphabet vitamins too.  So this gorgeous and delicious juice was born.  All that vitamin A, C and those antioxidants were just what I needed to rehydrate with! 

 

Orange you Glowing Juice

6 Carrots

6 Strawberries

3 Cuties

 

Juice it all and drink up buttercup! 

Kick that cold immunity boosting green juice

I always drink real food medicine! Seriously it's very very rare for me to take any kind of pharmaceuticals, ever.  Unless you have some morphine to share... just kidding!! 

I've had lots of kiddos missing school lately, and all the germs finally got me a little. And we all know what it's like when a gutsy girl is down... autoimmune hot mess! I knew I needed to rest or it would be bad.

I took the afternoon off and spent it diffusing onguard, hydrating like nobody's business, napping, watching Bruce Springsteen live, juicing some good stuff, sipping tea, practicing some restorative yoga, making chicken soup, and cuddling my dog.  Perfect day of recovery! 

One of the best things I could do for myself today was legs up the wall with a straw in my mouth sipping this stuff while the boss serenaded me with some acoustic thunder road! 

Try it if you need to kick some tough germ ass too! 

 

1 c Kale

1 c spinach 

1 lime- peeled

1 lemon- peeled

1 carrot- 

2 oranges- peeled 

2 cucumbers

4 in ginger

1/2 t turmeric- if you have fresh 2in is even better! 

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Throw all the fresh stuff in your juicer.  I add the turmeric and cayenne after and then hit it with the hand blender to get it all incorporated.  

I'm warning you this is a should we say "acquired taste"! 😂. Just focus on all the good it's doing inside your body and sing along to the song! 😉🎶

Celery and Ginger Juice

Celery juice is most amazing! 

• kicks autoimmune condition ass

• calms skin conditions

• purifies the blood

• helps digestion... Yay!

• reduces the effects of stress hormones... thank you! 

• lowers blood pressure... papa you have some celery juice coming at ya just FYI... 😉

I don't need to ramble anymore about it...

Just read this post from Dr. Anthony William, aka the Medical Medium.   He has more cred than I do, and his books are super informative and interesting.  I soak up everything he has to say.  Food is medicine (or poison) guys! For real... Living, breathing proof right here!

Please just read the books and drink the juice! 😉

I added some extras to his original recipe just because I wanted more greens, flavor, and I always, always want ginger! 

 

Celery and Ginger Juice 

1 bunch celery

1 cucumber

1 bag spinach

2 inches fresh ginger

1 lemon- peeled

Juice it all and enjoy! If it's too celeryish for you add an extra cucumber and maybe an apple to tone it down a bit.  

This makes more than you necessarily need at one time.  I wish I had time to make fresh juice every morning but I just don't...so I make enough for a few days.  I know, I know, it loses nutritents as it sits, but whatever... I'm making an effort and I feel good so who the f cares.  Day-old juice is better than no juice in my opinion! Just drink your veggies my friends!

Hulk Smash Green Juice

 

Smash the shit out of the bad guys this cold and flu season! Fuel up with some of this stuff to help channel your immune system's inner Hulk! 

Hulk Smash Green Juice

2 cucumbers

6 celery stalks

2 green apples-cored

1 pear- cores

1 lemon- peeled

1 lime- peeled

1 big ol' handful of baby kale

2 big handfuls of spinach

1 inch ginger

Throw it all in your juicer then kick ass!  

If you aren't familiar with juicing just remember it's easier to throw the leafy stuff in first then you can kinda use the other stuff to push them through.  Happy juicing! 😉
