JUICES & SMOOTHIES
Directions
The most important part of my day…
Honestly speaking I have a NEED for my daily
green juice hit!
When I am travelling the first thing I look for is
where can I get my freshly made green juice. If I
am not able to locate a juice outlet I do find that
I physically crave one after a couple of days. The
instant hit of vitamins and minerals your body
receives from these are addictive in a very good
way.
There are lots of different variations, but I find the
most nourishing ingredient above all are sprouted
sunflower shoots. I was educated on this miracle
food on a visit to one of the most highly respected
leading complimentary medicine clinics, in Palm
Beach Florida. www.hippocratesinst.org.
See more information on sunflower shoots in my
section on Microgreens in My Top Vegan Must
Have‘s on page 6.
I buy mine on line at www.wheatgrass-uk.com
They are delivered still growing in trays which I
keep in my kitchen and harvest as needed.
If sunflower shoots are not available then I use
kale and spinach, but experiment and find your
favourite combinations.
Greens are the most important ingredient of course,
but depending on what I can find, I like variations
with added beetroot, carrot, fennel etc.
If you are just starting out then add an apple or two
so it tastes more appealing , but then I recommend
to try and cut the fruit down so that you take in
more vitamins and minerals from just the greens in
one juice.
If you can get into the routine of making a green
juice every day the benefits will far outweigh the
effort.
One other thought that I like to consider when
taking my juice is that when you look around in
nature, the main colour you will see is green.
It feels very significant to me that as a living being
on this planet through my choice of intake I can
further connect with my natural surroundings.
Green Power!!... It’s the Best!
