Green Juices

Post Reply New Topic

Is anyone else on the green juice bandwagon? They are delicious! I make one for breakfast with
-Paradise Orac Protein & Greens
-Raw honey
-Yaema Chlorella
-a whole papaya,or half a cantaloupe
-cup of water
YUM
and if I'm too lazy for that,I buy a Govinda's Spirulina Pollen Punch;sorry,only available in the 50th state!

Red is the new green.

Try tomato and pomegranate.

Oh I don't do tomato-too much acid for me.

Yes. My favorite one to make is celery, kale, cilantro, and lime. Love green juice.

Yep. Beetroot and apple. Yum. I like using my new manual juicer. It's a slow wholistic experience I always look forward to.

Hmm, I've always wanted to, but anything the least bit sweet, any juice whatsoever, hurts my teeth. It's a shame as I used to absolutely love juice. Maybe someday.

I've been juicing for a couple months now and I have grown to love it! I usually put in a base of leafy green vegetables, like kale, spinach, or turnip greens, and add (what I call filler, because of the high juice yield) of either tomatoes, cucumber, or zucchini. I usually put carrots in and finish it off with either beets, peppers, turnips, radishes depending on what I had prior so I can mix it up. I don't think the recipes online are that great, it's better just to improv it. I'd highly staying away from making juice drinks with a high amount of kale, turnips and radishes, unless you are really into bitter and disgusting.

Ever try a spirulina drink? Yummy!

Just wanna say that I loooove Kale!

Lately I've been putting this green protein powder in with a banana,some berries,either half a papaya or part of a cantaloupe,water,sometimes some raw honey

when I want it yummy-er,I put in almond milk and some raw carob powder,to make it taste chocolate-y.Raw cacao is addictive.

So this past Monday and Tuesday, I didn't drink any fresh vegetable juice, because I couldn't make it to the farmer's market to stock up. I drank Super Green in it's place, thinking it could substitute. By the end of Tuesday, I was feeling rather off, so I went to bed early. I woke up Wednesday feeling even worse, very cloudy, and I had to concentrate on focusing my eyes which was disconcerting for me, since I can't remember the last time my eyes wanting to stay crossed. The first thing I thought of was "I wonder if it's withdraw from the fresh foods?" I had time to go to the store, and I began juicing again.

Today, after 64oz of fresh juice I feel better. It's very strange, I never would have thought that one could get withdraw from not eating their veggies. It was similar to going cold-turkey on Effexor. I'm guessing because I wasn't getting all the nutrients that's in vegetables, my body wanted me to start eating more of the high carb and fat foods to make up for it. This is just what I'm surmising, I tried googling it, but I couldn't come up with anything relevant to what I was talking about. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

IMHO our bodies need live food. We adapt to what we put into our bodies but eventually it will cause ill health. I have read that when we do eat as we should, our body detoxes and is open to more of the good nutrients it has grown accoustomed to. (Apologies for the lack of scientific terminology). So when we again put in something the body is not designed to digest, it "freaks out" in some way because it is not in protect and store the toxins mode.

But yes we do require abalanced diet also.
