Vegan Wednesday! Cleansing Juices!

It's a new year and it's a great time to think about cleansing your body of unwanted toxins (not to mention all the damage you did throughout the holiday season!). Everyone has new beginnings on the mind, and a cleansing detox is a great way to start! Here a few recipes I've found for detoxifying juices.

Healing Detox Juice

A sweeter, more subtle juice, but truly nutritious. Packs an antioxidant punch!

Ingredients:
3-4 Carrots

125g Fresh Spinach

Handful of Flat Leaf Parsley

2-3 Sticks of Celery

Juice all ingredients (putting celery through last). Mix with water to taste or drink neat (your preference).

Vegetable Super Juice

Serves 2

Ingredients:
1 whole cucumber

4 sticks of celery

2-4 handfuls of spinach

8 lettuce leaves

Any other greens!

Optional : parsley and fresh alfalfa sprouts

Juice all ingredients and mix 50/50 with distilled water. Add optional lemon juice to boost the alkalinity.

Stomach Cleanser
Ingredients:

1 bunch Grapes

1 basket Strawberries

"Healthy" Root Beer!

I'll just go ahead and say it. I hate eating raw greens. Unless they are covered in salad dressing or there is dip available. But by themselves....not happenin'. So when I discovered "Cellnique's Root Beer" I got a little giddy. I can drink my greens and...get this, they taste GOOD too!

Cell-nique is a "Super Green Vegetable Base Drink made from a blend of 31 USDA Organic Super Foods containing: super vegetables, super fruits and super plant botanicals that support and promote nourishment, cleansing/detoxing, alkaline-forming and rejuvenation of your cells by bathing them in pure phyto-nutrients and anti-oxidants".

We carry 6 flavors including: Pomegranate, Berry Grape, Dark Chocolate, Citrus Vanilla, Tropical and Root Beer. They are gluten free, vegan, low-glycemic and packed with protein that nourish, cleanse and alkalinize the body. They are also low in calories and contain no fat or added sugar.

"Made with organic Super Green foods such as Spirulina, Chlorella and Blue-green algae as well as cereal grass juices and sprouts like barley, wheat, oats and afalfa, Cell-nique also contains the high anti-oxidant Super Fruits like Noni, Goji berry, and Acai.

These ingredients have MORE nutrients than common fruits, vegetables and grains. One serving of Cell Nique contains the equivalent nutrients found in 6 to 8 servings of fruits and vegetables! Take that, raw greens!

The cost of one bottle is around the same price as a grande frappuccino from Starbuck's but has about the same amount of calories as THE WHIPPED CREAM ALONE!!!

Try one bottle of Cell-nique every day for a week and "become aware of an improvement in Stamina, Focus, Energy, Balance, Calmness, Mental Clarity, Strength Building, Bowel Regularity, Cravings, Confidence, Sleep, Mood, & Skin".
