My mother inlaw gave me a juicer like 4 years ago and I never used it until recently, actually it's because I forgot I even had it and with my organizational skills in the kitchen I was lucky to find it again! I've been hooked on Dr. Mercola lately and recently took his free nutritional type test. It's pretty cool and it was there I found I was a carb type. There are others too, protein type and mixed type (both protein and carb). I love my veggies and don't really eat meat that much and totally stay away from red meat in general. Anyhow, juicing is important for we carb types, unfortunately I'm sad that spinach is not on my list of veggies I should be eating :( however I really dig kale and it has taken spinach's place.
Here's the deal, prior to eating any of your meals you should drink at least 6 oz of veggie juice. So I looked on my chart at all the veggies I could eat as well as some fruit and had a blast in the kitchen making some yummy juice recipes of my own. Here are some that I juiced up for you!
Use all organic veggies if you can.
1 handful of cilantro
3 handfuls of kale
4 baby carrots
1/2 of a lemon keeping some of the white part on it.
1 kiwi
1/2 cucumber
throw all the above in your juicer and drink down a 6 oz cup of deliciousness
1 handful of cilantro
3 sliced pieces of fennel
1/2 cucumber with skin
1/2 of lime
3 handfuls of kale
2 baby carrots
8 cubes of cantaloupe
1 handful of cilantro
1/2 cucumber with skin
3 handfuls of kale
5 baby carrots
1/4 of an apple with skin
1/2 lemon leaving some of the white from the rind
Remember whenever using cabbage, bok choy, romaine or kale use lemon or lime to counter act the bitter taste it works wonders!!
Well I'll be adding more soon I'm sure as I experiment more. There's an abundance of things to toss in there like ginger, mint leaves, pineapple, grapes etc. Just remember to keep your fruit additions to a minimum as they contain high levels of fructose (natural of course, but still sugar). I only add a few to make it more palatable.
