My favorite holistic health author, and juicing expert is Natalia Rose who is my go-to for finding healthy juice recipes. Natalia is a best selling author on holistic health and natural cleansing who teaches us how to cleanse our bodies through whole foods, nature, and life-breathing. She is also an excellent person to turn to on the subject of low- glycemic diets and lifestyles. Her book, “Detox for Women” introduced me to my favorite juice of all, which she calls, “Green Lemonade”. It’s delicious and tastes so much like real lemonade, but won’t mess with your blood sugar at all. It helps to alkalize, assists in digestion and can also help reduce your blood sugar on a regular basis. Serves: 1 Ingredients: 1 head romaine lettuce 5 stalks of dino kale, or curly kale 1 organic lemon 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh ginger optional: 1 stalk of celery Directions: Run all the ingredients through a juicer and serve.

A simple combination that is more welcoming to new juicers is one made with mild ingredients, like this spinach cucumber juice. It’s mild in flavor and mainly tastes like a light lemonade.

As a bonus, it’s especially wonderful for your skin and hair to help beautify you too!

Source: soulfulspoon.com If you’re new to the idea of juicing, or scared to try it, I hope you’ll give some of these recipes a try. Most people find they love it once they start. If you don’t have a juicer, you can blend all these recipes in a high speed blender on high, and then strain them with a nut milk bag, or a cheesecloth. These recipes are perfect for introducing juicing into your diet, but I don’t suggest replacing your meals with them. I suggest adding one to your day before breakfast, which is my favorite time to juice. None of these recipes will mess with your blood sugar either, which is essential when learning how to juice properly. Do you juice?
