I have been wanting to incorporate a green juice into my routine, with a lot of nutrients and not a lot of fat.

I wanted it to be clean. Hence, I began searching for recipes and came across one from the blog called Nutrition Stripped.

But, I tweaked it a little. I first thought, I probably need to take out my juicer every time I need to make a juice like this as the pulp collects. But, if you add enough water/coconut water/any sort of liquid to your Vitamix first, it turns out just as good.

I have been using:

1/4 of an apple

1/4 of a banana

1/2 a cucumber

A strip of Kale

A handful of spinach

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/4 of a cup fresh orange juice

1 scoop of protein powder

A dash of cinnamon and turmeric.

And boom.

I can’t really say much for the results as I only started drinking this juice this week. One thing to be weary of is that kale does not suit every body type.

Due to the high content of fiber, it can be very hard to digest in some cases. And it inhibits the absorption of Thyroxin– so people with Thyroid should definitely be careful.

 

I just pour everything into a blender bottle and store it for the night so its good to go the next day. The metal ball inside of it does a good job and shaking up the contents. Really pleased with that purchase!

 

 

Enjoy!
