Healthy Green Juice Recipe

 

Healthy Green Juice(Carrots,Apples&Spinach)

I have always loved fruit and vegetable juices, but the first time I tried green juice, I became a fan for life ☺; not only because of the nutritional benefits , but I love what it does to my skin and total wellness .


A friend once told me that green juicing was a new health fad that would go away soon; but when I told her that my late grandma had been juicing for
over 70 yrs
she was astonished. Green juice has been around for ages,both in Africa and Europe and isn’t going no where
☺.


Green juicing is an act of squeezing out the juices from green vegetables and fruits to get a nutrition packed drink. 

My grandma used to make hers’ with Bitter leaves(Vernonia amygdalina) &Ugu(fluted pumpkin leaves), but my mum adds pineapple or honey to hers (to sweeten it a bit)..Lol.. fresh bitter leaves can be really beeeetaaaa! . I love bitter leaves,but I won’t be using it in this recipe. So Don’t fret.


Green juice is really the way to go in juicing. It is a quick way to get all the essential vitamins and minerals in a glass. And works well for busy folks who don’t have enough time to prepare healthy meals at all times. 
It is also an easy way to eat(drink) those veggies, you know you need, but just can’t get yourself to cook.


Some of the health benefits of Taking green juice includes;
* Green juices boost metabolism and increase energy levels


* Green juices serve as a healthy detox and helps to eliminate toxins from the body. Take 3 to 6 tall glasses daily for 3 days and you’ll know what I’m talking about :).


* Green juice is great for weight management and serves as a rich refreshment if you want a change from other healthy drinks.

* Green juice also aids bowel movement. Take a glassful first thing in the morning for best effect.

      I think green amaranth is tete, but you can use ugwu or green amaranth if you can't find spinach.

      I took it while I was pregnant and loved it, but make sure you wash the vegetables and fruits thoroughly and take it freshly juiced.

      I don't think it does and you are only to take it as a medication and not as a refreshment, too much of anything is bad.
