Juicing

If you have a juicer that has worked its way to the back of your pantry, now is the time to dig it out and begin using it again!  Juicing vegetables is another great way to provide nutritional benefits to your body. The fresh “live” juice can be absorbed easily into your body for almost instant health benefits. This article summarizes the many healing effects of juicing and gives definitions of the different juicers on the market. This is a great juicer and well worth your investment.

Scott and I enjoy a juice drink every morning. (We are on our third juicer in 35 years.) Our favorite vegetables to use are carrots, celery, apples, beets, pineapple, cucumber, lemon and ginger in a variety of combinations. This is one of the juice drink recipes you will find in our book, Eating Pure in a Processed Foods World®.

2 stalks celery
1/8-1/4 small beet
1/8 pineapple

Wash and cut ends off carrots, celery and beet. Cut pineapple in half lengthwise, quarter and cut off outside skin leaving inside core. Juice all ingredients in a juicer.
