Juicing.?

 

So I wanted to make a post on one of my favorite but things: juice. No not odwalla but fresh veggie juice yummers(if made right). But I also want to address something I’m seeing come up on the blogosphere. Juicing is not a cure all. Not to be made into a weight loss new diet fad. It’s about  juicing for how much you love the taste and the way it makes you feel. Yes juice is extremely healthy one of the best things you can do but don’t juice because it’s the new “health” craze. Do it because you FEEL the healthy! So hold off before you juice fast Im beginning to feel like beloved juice is just another way to lose weight, fall into an eating disorder, or that horrible restrictive mindset. I'll do a post on why science shows you shouldn't do a cleanse like that (With the exception of medical purposes). Don’t restrict. Enjoy. Use juicing don’t let it dominate you. Juicing is so brilliant. Without further ado here are my favorite recipes by far:

Brocco-brilliance:

2-3 broccoli stems

1/2-1 Celery

1/2-1 Fennel

Spinach

Zucchini

Bit Stevia.  would be so brilliant with a little mint extract too;).

Yum!!!!

Green roots:

3-5 carrotts

Spinach

Zucchini

Romiane.

Bit Stevia. Would be brilliant with a little cinnamon.

Yum! And totally Dr.Norman walker approved (check out his brilliant books!). The reason I use zucchini is it adds a lovely creaminess to it!

 

 

Benefits:

 

- Helps immensely with digestion

- Hits the bloodstream seamlessly

-TONS of vitamins and minerals

-Helps cravings

-Easy way to get veggies in

Don't juice a ton of fruit that's just a little to quick for the sugar to hit the bloodstream. 'Juice the veggies, Eat the Fruit.' :)

 

With Healthy Fat, Fiber and Carb makes an AMAZING meal!

 

What’s your favorite juice?

On a side note, what would you like to see on the blog?

Favorite Supplement Brands for quality, cleansing and realibity!

So I hate to admit it but I do love Super foods and supplements not as a whole meal FYI guys but in addition to like bump it up. I work with supplements at whole foods and have been trained extensively with the companies not to mention I've been at Hippocrates Health Institute and Raw food Institute in Michigan so I don't say this with nothing haha:)!  Here are the BEST one the market!

Note: I do not get paid to endorse these products...

1. By far, number one is healthforce nutritionals.
All of their products are by far the best. You literally feel healthier the minute you take them. The taste may take some getting used to and they are cleansing so start small, but Jameth Sheridan(owner) is amazing. So passionate, a genius anything they put out is top notch. These products literally changed my life I adore Healthforce for all they have done for me so I will talk about them a bunch!;)

My favorites: The  Maca (Hormonal Health and Energy), Vitamineral Earth (Hello curing digestion and Grounding), Their proteins are amazing(especially the elite green it is made with ALL GREENS:)!!) The #1 is their Vitamineral Green OMG! :)  . They have greens built in along with enzymes and probiotics! My dream is to work with them one day their products literally save my life!

2. Number two award goes to Garden of life
I love that it is rich in sprouts when I interned at Hippocrates Health Institute they totally explained the benefits of sprouts and again I love that It has the digestive enzymes for people like me with digestion issues!

My favorites: Raw Alkalizer and Detoxifier, Raw vitamins, 50 Billion Colon Care Probiotic:)

3. Number three goes to ......
Now Foods

They have so many amazing products... Including their Super Enzymes (which their is no product like it on the market it has properties to digest anything!), Greens( I love their 1lb. Chlorella) and Pretty much anything you need and all good quality:)

What are you loving this week?

Real FOOD(Not powder!) Superfoods!

So as much as I love my superfood powders you cannot neglect the most important superfoods. REAL FOODS! Here are my tops:

1.Kefir..

Kefir is AMAZING. You can enjoy it as lactose free to. Chris Kresser ( an amazing health blogger and practitioner) uses it to tell heal his clients. Each drink has over 10 billion probiotics. CRAZY!!!! Also if Casien makes you nervous, full fat (ps that's GOOD For you!) goat milk kefir has a2 casein which is totally healthy, no contribution to cancer or anything!

Here are my favorites:
Green Valley Organics Plain Lacotse Free
Redwood Hill Goat Milk Kefir
Lifeway Whole Milk Kefir (This one has no additives like pectin which really upsets a sensitive gi)


***Note: Can make vegan using coconut milk which is what I do****

2. Raw Honey

 

Yes, raw local honey is on the list twice. It is just so incredible. It saves you from allergies, with lemon it helps gi issues(Saved me), gives you energy is just overall an incredible product. Note::: Make sure its raw, unfiltered for the benefits. It should look like the picture not super runny:)

Here is info from Web MD on the medicinal properties of raw honey.

Local is best but if not:

Really Raw Honey

 

3. Banana

 

I bet this is one you didn't expect on the list but I love bananas. Many people fear them but they are great. They are full of potassium which helps flush the sodium from your system. (Which many people have to much sodium-makes you bloated). Plus, in a world where veggies are where its at and many people have gi issues. Bananas are SO easy to digest causing no pain which is amazing for those of us with issues. If you cook it its delicious and even easier...

Um, if you need a link I don't know what to tell you;)

Banana Eggs:
Ing.
