HEALTHY JUICE CLEANSE RECIPES

Four healthy juicing recipes to give your body natural energy and helps to detoxify the body!

Juice bars are popping up everywhere for good reason! Drinking fresh juices can detoxify the body, help to create a more alkaline body, and to give a boost of energy and a clear mind.

Juicing is a powerful tactic used by a quickly-growing amount of people to lose weight fast, get proper nutrition, and help fuel healthy lifestyles.

Whenever I come from vacation or a particularly bad eating night, I reach for a healthy juice to cleanse my body and give my digestive system a break.

I am sharing 4 of our favorite juicing recipes with an assortment of fruits and vegetables for variety. Thank you for following along! I truly do have the greatest readers. I went on a 30-day smoothie and juice cleanse to help with my autoimmune disease. Since my oldest daughter is a "health freak" we make these homemade juices every week and store them in jars in the refrigerator to make them easily accessible. It saves SO much money juicing at home!


WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF JUICING?


According to the Mayo Clinic, by drinking freshly made juices, your body can absorb the nutrients better than eating whole fruits and vegetables and it gives your digestive system a rest from working on fiber. Other add-ins are fresh ginger, parsley, chlorella, and turmeric.


WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES IN A JUICE CLEANSE?


Kale – insanely low in calories, powerful anti-oxidant with anti-inflammatory properties, and helpful for arthritis and autoimmune diseases

Spinach – the beauty of spinach lies in how easy it is to disguise the taste. Carrots have been linked to lower cholesterol levels and improved eye health

Celery - low in calories since it is mostly water. Helps to fight inflammation and heart health.

Oranges - immune system booster since it is high in Vitamin C and low in calories.

Turmeric – anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties

Ginger – aids in digestion and supports the immune system

If you are looking for a real detoxifier, check out my recipe for a lemon turmeric drink, which is perfect after a night of bad eating.
