Drinks for Health & Beauty

Why drink vegetables?

Benefits:
Alkalizing effect- vegetable can make you blood PH more balanced
Antioxidants
Vitamins, minerals
Enzymes
Anti-aging
Good for your skin & hair
Great energy booster

Recipe:

Celery
Cucumber
Ginger
1 green apple
Sprinkle with  lime

To make the juice more tasty, I use:

Red and orange paprika
Carrot
Green apple (even though I prefer not to mix fruits with vegetables when juicing)

For a flat stomach I use these veggies for their  natural diuretic properties:

Dandelion (they are a little bit bitter so you don’t need too much unless you like bitter greens. Dandelion is also good for your liver)
Asparagus (when competing I use asparagus a bit more in the last couple of days before stepping on stage, a great natural diuretic)

Sometimes I use a little bit of ginger for taste and lemon or lime (my preference).

I always make sure I clean my veggies from chemicals and pesticides.
I use a great product from Trader Joe’s called “fruit and vegetable wash” from Environne

 

If I’m busy or I haven’t had a chance to go fresh produce shopping, this is what I make from what I keep at home.

Of course there is nothing like  fresh vegetable juice that you can make from fresh produce, but many times we’re looking for convenience and this is why I keep these items at home.

I get everything from health stores or whole foods.
I try a lot of different varieties and I’m always looking for the best products out there, but here is what I have so far..
Sometimes I combine them all together (like half teaspoon) in one drink or use them individually.

• Vitamineral green, cleansing super-foods
• Kyo-green it’s a combination of nutrients from the Land and Sea
• Matcha green tea drink, Alkalizing, energizing, detoxifying and rejuvenating

 

The important thing is to make drinking veggie juice a daily habit.
At first you might not like the taste of it, but focus on the positive ….how much more energy you’ll feel!

Why not take the time and make an effort to become healthier. It will give you more balance, and make you sexier.. hehe in my opinion, “vitality and energy = sexy”

Next time I will like to show you 2 of my favorite Super Quick and Easy, but nutritious dishes.

Till next time..

In your health,
