More juice recipes!

It's day 5 today and I am starting to feel better than I have been. I also feel like my skin is clearing up a little bit! I remembered one of the recipes I used a few days ago, that I really liked!

1 1/2 sweet potatoes (with skin), cubed
4 carrots
2 apples
2 beets
Beet greens
2 big handfuls of spinach
2 oranges

It was a little on the sweet side, so next time I might only put one orange.

Today I tried a recipe from rebootwithjoe.com. It's called green lemonade. It was a tad bitter at first, which I expected, but as I kept drinking it, I really liked it. The lemon really cut down the "greens" taste that I don't want a whole lot of. I doubled the recipe to make 32 oz, so cut it in half if you only want one.

Green Lemonade
1 cucumber
1 lemon, peeled and seeded
8 celery stalks
2 green apples
A couple handfuls of kale
A couple handfuls of spinach

Juicing!!

So, I've decided it's really time to get healthy, and one thing that I'm doing now, is juicing! I wanted to do a full juice fast, but since your body releases toxins, I can't since I'm still nursing. So I decided to eat a healthy breakfast and dinner, and then drink juice during the day. Today was day 4, and it's going great so far! Today was the first day I didn't really get hungry during the day. The first day, I was starving after about an hour and a half after my first drink. Here's a few recipes I've used!

Green juice:
A few handfuls of chopped kale
A few handfuls of spinach
1 cucumber
8 celery stalks
4 carrots
3 apples
1" piece of ginger

Greens and beets:
2 beets
Beet greens
A couple handfuls of spinach
1" piece of ginger
4 oranges
6 carrots
3 apples

I loved the second one!!! I made one with beets similar to this one, but without the ginger, and I think the ginger really complements the drinks!

I really recommend the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. It's really interesting! I've been using his website for juice recipes and juicer tips! :)
