Need More Energy? Forget Coffee, Make Fresh Green Juice Instead!
When it comes to nutrition and boosting energy, nothing beats a glass of freshly pressed vegetable and/or fruit juice. Forget coffee. Forget sugar. No other food is more enzyme-rich and nutrient-rich and easier to absorb by our body, than fresh juice. Many people may be skeptical, because when they think of vegetable juice they typically picture a bottle of V-8 or tomato juice. However, even the biggest skeptics can be converted, when they try this delicious Green Cocktail recipe and experience first-hand the benefits of juicing.
Do you feel constantly hungry and craving junk food? Are you always tired and feeling down? A glass of freshly made juice can probably help. If you don’t have a juicer, then go and get yourself one – it’s a good investment in your health. Then get some fruits and vegetables (see the recipe below for a shopping list), make some fresh juice, and drink to your health! Do this twice a day for exceptional results, every day for great results, three times a week for noticeable results, or even just once a week for improvement!
Fresh juice has all nutrients that your body needs in a form that can be easily absorbed giving you instant energy boost! Its also great for your health. If you search the Internet, you can read thousands of stories about people who cured themselves of various ailments, lost weight and improved their well-being by drinking freshly made juices.
Green Juice Cocktail Recipe
There are many recipes that you can try and many books and resources are available on the subject. I am going to give you this one recipe for a Green Juice Cocktail made with green vegetables, apples and lemon:
Simple version:
1 head romaine lettuce or 3 stalks of celery
5-6 leaves of kale
1 or 2 apples or pears
1 lemon (not peeled)
Optional ingredients ” choose what you like or have in your kitchen:
1 cucumber
1/4 to 1/2 ripe papaya (1/2 results in a sweeter juice)
1 handful of cilantro or parsley (or both for deeper green juice)
1 cup of fennel
I like to add some beets or carrots sometimes too, but then of course it is no longer green juice… Some people also like to add a slice of garlic and/or ginger.
Drink it every morning or afternoon to jumpstart your energy!
For most benefits, it is best to drink your juice on an empty stomach.
The Benefits of Juicing: Vegetable and Fruit Juice Advantage
So why juice the vegetables instead of eating them? What’s the benefit of juicing them?
First of all, a juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruits and vegetables making them easier to digest, leaving you with organic water with all the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes from the plants. And second, just imagine having to chop and then chew all the above ingredients – it sure takes a while!
Of course, having fiber is important too, but because it is removed from the juice, your body will not have to waste energy on digestion. The nutrients will go straight into the cells to do their work. So, whenever you are experiencing low energy or any health issues – make yourself some fresh juice!
