Juicing raw fruits and vegetables is a fantastic way to cleanse, alkalize and recharge your system. I periodically run a 3 day detox, sipping on these drinks throughout the day. For those of you on the go (and who isn’t?), I’ve included no less than 5 easy to mix detox drinks. These are nice solutions given you just blend them up, place in a thermos and take them anywhere, thus allowing you to stick to the plan.:
Look to use organic fruits/veggies when you juice. I don’t eat organic all the time but this is a GREAT time to go organic. You only have to shop for 3 days worth of organic fruits/veggies and it’ll be a nice way to evaluate how it feels/fits into your lifestyle:
Apple Carrot Juice
2 apples
6 carrots
Wash everything, peel the carrots and cut into sections where needed. Juice everything.
Carrot Anise Juice
8 carrots
2 anise stalks
3-4 celery stalks
2 apples
Wash and peel the carrots. Wash everything else, and cut up into sections if needed. Juice everything and enjoy.
Carrot Combination
2 1/2 lbs. carrots
1 beet with greens
1 stalk celery
1 large handful spinach
1 large handful parsley
1 green pepper
1 clove garlic
1 slice ginger
Wash and peel carrots. Clean and slice beet into thin wedges. Wash and dry spinach leaves and parsley. Juice half of the carrots and beet. Add remaining ingredients using the remaining carrots to push them through. Complete by juicing carrots.
Carrot, Celery, Cabbage Combo #1
3-4 Carrots
1-2 Celery stalks
small wedge cabbage
Wash all vegetables and juice.
Carrot, Celery, Cabbage Combo #2
2 carrots
2 cucumbers
2 stalks of celery
a piece of ginger
a handful of parsley
a piece of apple or citrus fruit
Wash all vegetables and juice.
Give these a shot and feel the difference they make, in just 3 days!!!
