Did you ever stay up all night on a Tuesday and watch Jack LaLane's infomercial? The benefits of juicing when you can't sleep! Probably never gave it a second thought, right?
I'm a big fan of juicing, especially in the summer. Homemade juice really gives your body a great boost to get your day going. It's also a great way to get more vegetables into your belly. I generally use whatever I have around for vegetables. The beautifully green elixir your see above consists of:
1 leaf swiss chard
1/3 cucumber
1 small carrot
a handful of spinach
a handful of parsley
a small piece of ginger
1 small green apple
If you have a good juicer, this serves 2. I have a Breville. The Jack LaLane is pretty good, too. I've also tried the Juiceman, and it is no good at all.
Does the color turn you off? My green juice is super green. If you're not ready for it, try more cucumber or some celery with carrots and apple. I also love adding beets. Lemons are great, too, especially if you have a cold.
