Summer Salad Smoothie


In starting your cleanse, your shopping list is the first step.  It is important to do this, or you can get overwhelmed walking in the market with so many fruits and vegetables to choose from.  To make it easy for you, We will post the smoothies we make and you can jot down the ingredients.  If there is something you absolutely will not eat, just replace it with something else or remove it from the recipe.  This one recipe above is: 

Our summer salad smoothie, these rich hydrating super foods will give you wings!! recipe: 

16 Oz of mixed almond milk, tart cherry juice and grapefruit juice
1 cup of mustard greens 
2 radishes
1 quarter of a cucumber
1 half of a pear 
1 teaspoon of fresh ginger
1 quarter cup of parsley
1 dash of turmeric spice 
1 celery stalk
1 carrot
1 half of a lime and lemon
1 cup of strawberries or raspberries
1 quarter avocado
12 small ice cubes

You will grow wings after this drink! 

My tip is to make the 16 oz so you have plenty for a few glasses, and then make a different one so you have a variety and never get bored.  In the morning put it in your thermos and stick in the freezer while you get ready for work so it's nice and cold, not too long so it doesn't freeze.

**benefits of parsley are a mile long.  This little herb is best when blended or juiced to get the benefits.  It is helpful for: 
1. anemia, with its high chlorophyll content, being an excellent blood purifier and builder.  
2. bad bread 
3. arthritis
4. bladder, kidney, and urinary tract problems  
5. Regulating menstruation and bloating
6. Building up your immune system and helps detoxify
and many many others...
