Hey, just a quick juicy recipe! This an Uber green concoction, if you are not used to intense greenness you could increase the apple or add a little lemon juice! First gather your organic goodies and prepare for juicing!

a bowl of green

• Four kale leaves
• Half a teaspoon of magnesium powder (to balance the oxalic acid in the kale)
• Two pak choi leaves
• Five lettuce leaves
• A stick of celery
• Half a green apple
• A third of a cucumber
• An inch thick bunch of wheatgrass
• Half a purple kohl rabi
• A baby finger tip size of ginger
• If you have it add a double shot size of water kefir to the juice

It is fabulously green. It gave me a great energy boost!

Super green with a delectable frothy head!

Here’s one I had while writing this one up!

• Half a green apple
• Half a purple kohl rabi
• Three lettuce leaves
• Three pak choi leaves
• A half inch bundle of wheatgrass
• A couple of inches of cucumber
• Half an organic unwaxed lemon
• A slice of organic ginger

It was very refreshing a lighter green but great greeny nutrition all the same!

Drink your greens two- too

As part of my ongoing “healthier” strategy I am having a super juice every day. I have another half so here is a fantastically Green Juice For Two

Ooo greenness

You will require these organic ingredients.

• One green apple
• Two stalks of celery
• Five or six pak choi leaves
• Ten catalogna leaves
• An inch/ 2.5cm bundle of wheatgrass
• The centre of a head of green oak leaf lettuce (about the size of my hand)
• Four mint leaves
• Ten coriander leaves and stalks
• A piece of ginger the size of the top of you baby finger ( I have small fingers )- it can have been irradiated if it is not organic!!
• A couple of slices of lemon to add a squeeze of later or leave sit in your juice.

All that green goodness is really refreshing. Just a reminder that you need a masticating juicer in order to juice wheatgrass. The blade ones with a spinning basket are not suitable nor is a blender. We are just not made for digesting grass – so it is press juicing only for that particular superfood.

It’s good to share x

So I forgot my detox was meant to be starting and ate some organic dark chocolate with ginger (soooo good!). I am not too concerned though it was good quality and my mood needed chocolate it is the balanced holistic approach. 🙂 I have used the somewhat controversial ingredient of kale. The issue with raw kale is oxalic acid, there is much debate about raw form vs cooked for good and bad. The problem is there are some camps that would say that oxalic acid can bind with iron,calcium and magnesium. It is found in veg such as kale and spinach. Personally I think you are fine as long as you are not having tons of these raw every day. But out of concern I put have a teaspoon of magnesium powder in with my kale to perhaps bind with the oxalic acid…I warn you there are a lot of research and arguments out there if you feel like looking into it on line!

Oooo lots of green

Here is my uber green juice of the day!

• Three stalks of curly kale
• Half a teaspoon of magnesium powder
• A little bunch of wheatgrass (forefinger to the knuckle of your thumb bunch)
• Five/ six sprigs of organic coriander
• Half a organic unwaxed lime
• A nine 9cms approx. 3 inches of a cucumber
• A top of your baby finger size piece of organic turmeric (again rem I have small fingers)
• About the same size of organic fresh ginger. I insist on organic here as it can be irradiated if non-organic.
• Optional: extra cucumber or some celery, reason being it is intensely limey, I don’t mind that but you may want it lighter.

über reeeaaally green juice

This has a great range of nutrients (e.g amino acids,magnesium, b vitamins, vitamin k and C) enzymes (such as superoxide dismutase ) and fabulous anti-oxidants. Coriander/cilantro has become more recognised for it’s health benefits recently including digestive support, anti-inflammatory action and even helping remove heavy metals from the body!

I am used to including detoxifying foods and juices in my diet. If you are new to them or only do so occasionally remember to increase your water and start off with just one juice a day. If you have any underlying medical conditions I would have a chat with your natural or medical practitioner about it first.

Enjoy! XX Aissa
