I love my juicer….

I got a Jack La Lanne Juicer, and I’m in love with it….it is a simple juicer , not too expensive, and does the trick. I got it at Costco for under a 100$. Daily I put in a whole cucumber, 5 stalks of celery ( I grow my own) half a lemon, 3 small oranges, few leaves of bok choy or other green leafy veggie.

Here is one such recipe…..

This smoothie is very high in electrolytes and minerals, the coconut water, banana and cucumber are all high in magnesium and potassium.  This is a great post work-out smoothie while Rebooting. These specific nutrients may also help normalise blood pressure.

Red Grapes contain a very special polyphenol called resveratrol. Resveratrol, which is an anti-oxidant, may help prevent many forms of cancer. Resveratrol has also been shown to scavenge free radicals in the body thus reducing oxidative cellular damage such as aging.
This smoothie has 4 serves of fruit and vegetables, you can easily add more if you wish. Use any of the below substitutions if desired.
