Fluids – Options to add variety and nutrients
Ways to keep it interesting while avoiding added sugars:
Green juice
Green juices are the best medicine we can give
our bodies. Some of the benefits include:
?Able to consume a wide variety of produce
?Assimilate nutrients faster
? elps shift body from acidic to alkaline
H
?Youthful appearance, smoother skin
?Encourages weight loss/control
?Allows for efficient elimination
?Improves energy level
Juicing allows you to consume a wide variety of
greens all at once with the addition of others you
probably wouldn’t prepare to eat such as kale,
cucumber, celery and parsley – especially timing
it for breakfast, which is the most important time
to power up for your day.

Juicing can make greens more palatable. I like to
sweeten them with an apple or carrot. Also add
a spoonful of Vital Greens powder, a high-quality,
enzyme rich, complete super-food supplement
which contains even more benefits of wheatgrass, spirulina and more and acts as your daily
mutli-vitamin.
Try either of these combinations:
? bunch organic kale, 1 cucumber, 1 green
1
apple, 1 heaped teaspoon of Vital Greens
powder served over ice
OR
?1/2 lemon, 1 lime, 1 cucumber, handful
of baby spinach, head of broccoli, 1cm
cube of ginger, 1 heaped teaspoon of
Vital Greens powder
