RECIPES

Sugarcane Lemongrass Juice

The nutritional value of this juice is unbelievable! Sugarcane is sugar in an unadulterated form. Meaning it has not been processed, bleached and ripped of all the valuable nutrients i.e. calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Sugarcane juice has a low glycemic index, contains no simple sugar and is known to lessen the risk of diabetes and can be consumed by diabetics. Sugarcane juice is great for healing sore throats, cold and flu and due to the alkaline nature, it is known to heal the body and fight cancer. On a hot summer day sugarcane is the ideal choice to hydrate the body quickly when exposed to extreme heat and physical activity and it refreshes and energizes the body from the richness of carbohydrates. I know there are many women who are screaming because I said the richness of carbohydrates. Don’t be fearful, sugarcane juice stabilizes the whole body and will not cause obesity.

Recipe

1 no. large sugarcane

2 nos. lemon grass

Juice the sugarcane and lemongrass through your juice presser or twin gear juicer, strain and enjoy the delicious taste!

 

Watermelon Kiwifruit Juice!

I love watermelon! This is one of my favorite fruits. I enjoy eating and juicing watermelon during the warm months because of the taste and cooling effect. Watermelon is excellent at cleansing the kidney and bladder. The diuretic components eliminate excess fluids from the body. The water content within this yummy fruit is extremely high, 92%, making this an excellent diuretic for reducing water retention, kidney disorder, bladder disorder, constipation and weight loss. Most of the nutrition is inside the rind therefore you must juice the rind to receive an additional amount of mineral and chlorophyll content.

By combining kiwifruit, the juice receives a boost of vitamin C. In addition, this fruit is a good source of vitamin A, vitamin E, magnesium, potassium and copper, which is needed to make energy. By eating and/or juicing kiwifruit, a person is less likely to have respiratory related health problems including wheezing, night cough and shortness of breath. Enjoy!

Recipe

1/4 of a medium watermelon including rind

2 1/2 kiwifruit

Alternate the fruit through the juicer, stir and enjoy!

 

Daily Deto Juice

Here is a detox juice recipe from the owner of organics, Rex Rhee. I love the combination of chosen vegetables and it is a great cleanser. If you live in New York you’re one of the fortunate people who could order this great juice to go. I modified the juice slightly by adding a 1/2 bunch of watercress. I don’t enjoy the taste of wheatgrass so I omitted the shot. Enjoy!

Recipe (Serves 2)

4-6 carrots

6 stalks celery

1 apple

1 bunch spinach

1/4-1/2 bunch parsley

1/2 bunch of watercress

Cold-pressed wheatgrass to taste

Juice all the ingredients together and enjoy!

 

Organic Meal On the Go Juice

This juice happens to be one of my many juice meals on the go. The blend of spinach, cucumber, celery, apples and lemon infused with basil and mint is the absolute nutritious meal in a glass. My intent when creating this meal was to provide my body with the vegetables, herbs and fruit I needed for my well being. This juice is ideal for the person who may not have the time to sit down for a nutritious meal. When you drink the juice, you will feel the energizing effects of the ingredients.

I am always looking for foods to increase my energy and improve my hair, skin, nails and lately eyesight. Spinach and cucumber provides me with those nutrients. Each of the ingredients I have chosen has a purpose. The basil and mint were chosen for their settle flavors and as a mild digestive aid. Lemon was added because of the antiseptic qualities within the fruit to alkalize and provide vitamin C, vitamin B6 and potassium. The apples are used for the flavor, pectin and the high amount of vitamin A from the apple peel to improve my skin, eyes, digestive tract and immune system. Be careful with the lemon because too much lemon will overwhelm the juice, making it too tart. Enjoy!

Nutrients: Coumarin, Vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, C, K, biotin, calcium potassium, flavonoids, limonim, minerals e.g. chloride, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, silicon, sodium and sulfur.
