Green Cocktail

There is nothing like a green cocktail to start your morning off right! I have been reading a great book by Kris Carr called Crazy Sexy Diet and I was inspired to begin juicing. After my warm glass of lemon or ACV filtered water I have been blasting my system with GREENS. I know what most of you are thinking…EEEWWWWW…GRASS….but it is actually quite sweet. The stems of broccoli and a small pear or apple make the juice taste great.

Juicing Benefits (according to Kris Carr)
*pH balances your body
*Gives your body a direct shot of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, protein & oxygen
*Optimum fuel that nourishes your cells & helps restore your immune system
*Slows & reverses the aging process
*Reduces inflammation
*Cleanses the body
*Regulates the bowels
*Helps peel off extra pounds
*Makes your skin glow

The ingredients I have uses the past few mornings are: Kale, Broccoli stems, Cucumber, Carrot & Pear or Apple. Make sure you buy organic produce so you are not drinking the waxy substance or pesticides in your shot of green goodness.
