Healthy Drink Recipe

Photo by: Fallon Michael @fallonmichaeltx

Want to get a super dose of Vitamins (especially Vitamin C) and antioxidants?

Well here is a quick recipe to stuff in the juicer:

3 Leaves of Kale

3 Rainbow Carrots

2 Mandarins (cuties)

1 Pinch of Diced Fresh Ginger

After putting through a juicer there should be roughly 6 ounces of juice. The carrots and mandarines sweeten the bitterness of the kale and the ginger adds a soft kick of spice. Of course add more or less of each of these to your liking, but be sure to include all of these ingredients for the full vitamin packed benefits.

Looking for a great masticating juicer that won’t wake the neighbors? Try the amzchef slow juice extractor. The juice comes out pulp-free and the clean up is quick and easy.

*This is not a paid affiliation. This is the juicer that I use and love so much!

Focus on just one word that you need in your life to move through to the next phase. This will be your pivot word. Your word could be; strength, breathe, calm, peace, patience, now or om.
