Juicing

I always struggle to find a way to get in all my fruits and vegetables in one day, so I drink a lot of juices and smoothies.

I went out and bought a Vitamix to make my juices and smoothies. It works incredibly quickly, and has a great recipe book inside. I decided to try out some of my own juices and smoothies and these are my top 3 favorites:

1. Mango and Kale Blend

1 cup Mango Juice

1 cup water

A medium apple cut in quarters

1 cup of frozen mangos

1 cup of coarsely cut kale (with stem removed)

2. Berry Infusion

1 cup of blueberries

1 cup of strawberries

1 cup of mangos

1.5 cups of mango or pineapple juice

A scoop of protein powder (I use plant fusion from Earth Fare)

3. Pineapple and Kale

1 cup of frozen pineapple

2 medium apples cut in quarters

1 cup of coarsely chopper kale

1 cup of coarsely chopped spinach

With all of these recipes you can add protein powder to get an extra boost. Just remember to check to make sure it is gluten free and free of any other things you have a hard time digesting.

Juices are a great breakfast to start with of an afternoon snack. You can try out your own recipes and see which ones you like the best. They give you a buzz of energy and help make your digestive feel amazing! I normally drink one before I work out too!
