I love juicing and blending fresh fruits. It's just a fun alternative to eating them whole! Nutritionists advise that it's best to drink juices and smoothies on an empty stomach. It helps to speed up the absorption of the nutrients.
Try to regulate your intake with your daily caloric need. Certain fruits can be high in sugar so be careful how you consume.
Green juices are known to help balance the body's pH levels and give you a direct shot of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. The recipe below is for a refreshing green juice that's easy on the tastebuds for starters.
Light Greens
Serves 2
3 cucumbers
3 apples
Juice from 1 small lemon, squeezed
Juice from 1 small lime, squeezed
*Alternatively, you may leave out the lemon and lime if you don't want the lemony taste and still get a refreshing drink.
Enjoy!
