The Juice Cleanse

With the new season comes the good old debate of... juicing or not juicing?  The goal is to heal, to restore the body to its optimal health, and to let the powerful detoxification system we are born with do its work.  Some of us think that juicing regularly is a great way to stay healthy while others believe it is a quick fix that does not bring long lasting health benefits.  What side of the fence are you on? 

All we know is that if you can handle the discipline that comes with juice cleansing (meaning you have the mental strength to get through it!) it does give you a great deal of energy, few less pounds and a -unanimously agreed- skin glow.  Here are two of our favorite recipes sourced on this lovely blog.

Beet, Apple and Blackberry Juice

3 small beets

2-3 apples
8 oz. blackberries
1/2 inch fresh ginger

Carrot, Golden Beet and Orange Juice

4 carrots

2 golden beets
3 cara cara navels
1/2 inch of fresh ginger

Happy Juicing everyone!
