    Daily Juice

    for those who can not get up and immediately think about eating breakfast - juice can be the perfect option.

    i’m not talking a glass of carbo-sugar laden orange juice - the kind of cheap imported citrus being labeled “florida-squeezed”  or “natural”  juice from concentrates ( half apple blend ) that are reconstituted with well water. even the organic 100% juices are not always what they appear to be.

    i’m talking hand picked-organic-vegetables & fruits thrown into a juicer and immediately sipped for the full impact of “live” nutrition.

    it’s like a big vitamin-mineral-enzyme pill to get you jump-started for the day - and for life if incorporated into a daily diet. 

     a favorite:  1/2# beets with greens / 5 carrots / 1 apple /  lime / ginger / tumeric

    now that’s a healthy breakfast !

    1/2 bunch spinach / 5 stalks celery / 1/2 cucumber / 1 apple / lemon / jalapeno

    now something that green has gotta be good for you !

    and seriously- for those of you  afraid of something that green - it  really is a fresh and delicious concoction. after a few tastes my husband  moved beyond his daily smoothie of yogurt & fruit to the daily juice.

    for about $100 -more or less -you can purchase a juicer. research centrifugal VS masticating ( i favor the centrifugal ).  research the top name brands ( i am a fan of the juiceman but like the breville too).

    purchasing a book or two can help with recipes & flavor combinations - and beyond that  can help with creating  “tonics” to boost specific vitamins & minerals to cleanse and help restore the body. some tonics vow to naturally help alleviate conditions from anemia-PMS-insomnia & fatigue to fever-allergy & cholesterol.

    so forget egg tacos & granola bars !  get your daily juice !
