juiced

It's been one month since giving birth to Eden, which feels like a great time
to refocus on my health and encourage the restoration of my body.
My first step is juicing. Juicing for health provides nutrients, antioxidants,
vitamins and minerals for the body to repair itself, allowing cell regeneration
and growth. When I commit to making juice once a day,
I become more energetic and feel clean and healthy.
To begin this juicing journey I tried out several recipes.

Orange Juice
High in Vitamin C and Calcium this energizing juice is a perfect start to a day.


1 golden beet, quartered
1/2 orange, quartered and peeled
3 large carrots
1 inch ginger root

Cold Buster
With the cleansing powers of ginger and lemon, this apple juice
will help fight of the winter bug.


3 Granny Smith apples, quartered
1 inch ginger root
1 /2 lemon, peeled
pinch of cayenne, mixed into juice

Detox Juice
Full of detoxing powers, these fruits and vegetables
combine for a great cleansing juice.


1/2 cucumber, quartered
1 celery stock
1 granny smith apple, quartered
1/2 lemon, peeled

and there are many recipes and uses for juice pulp
some of the many ways pulp can be used:
compost for garden
vegetable broth
fruit leather
mix into muffins, pancakes, scones...
add to smoothies
