I've been making this green juice lately. It's easier than to darker green/veggie juice I make. I wanted to post it because of how amazingly refreshed and calmed down my system feels after drinking this stuff. It's very alkaline and cooling to an inflamed system, and has been helping me a lot on top of the supplemental turmeric I've been taking.

Dig it, simple yet effective. Thanks for talking about alkaline food, it is something not very many talk about here, and is oh so important to good radiant health. I would recommend adding in a hunk of ginger to that recipe.

I make some gnarly green juices myself, here's a recipe I made earlier today:

1 head spinach
1 head dino kale
1 head purple kale
1 large hunk of ginger
1 lemon
4 small granny smith apples
6 celery stalks
1 cucumber
1 jalapeno

Good point, after I consume the green juice I feel really relaxed, energized but in a calm tone.

Thanks for the recipe. That must make a ton of juice!

I am going to juice fast pretty soon here, and I want to try something I've never done before: Fasting on ALL green juices, no fruity/sugary juices.

Nice! It makes about 64 oz or so...Carrots are a good sub for fruits, they have their own slight sweetness to them! I have a breville juicer, what do you use?

Actually alkaline diets are talked about constantly here. As are blending and juicing greens. The thing is, when you simply eat a lot of non-seed plant foods, you pretty much accomplish an alkaline diet so there's no need to worry about it.

So how does that taste with the turmeric?

[dejaclairevoyant]

Yummy! I've been taking 8 turmeric caps a day + eating tons of it on pretty much everything I cook. I love the flavor.

My juicer is kind of crappy. It's a Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro... it doesn't do a very good job, but it's better than nothing. I can't wait until I can get a legit juicer one day.

Good recipe but don't know why you add sea salt. Celery already contains lot of organic sodium. You will find raw turmeric in asian store/ whole foods. My recipe is geared more towards the liver/making new blood.

3 carrots
3 stalks celery
1/2 cucumber
2-3 dandelion greens
1/4 beet
pinch of ginger

I am pretty lazy, I just throw in chopped fruits and vegetables and make a smoothie in the morning with about 600 cals of olive oil lol.
Kind of stopped adding raw egg yolks for a while.

Sounds delish -gonna make it right now! Can i add coconut oil to mine? I do out for the benefits as well as the fact that i am trying to gain weight.

[dejaclairevoyant]

Sure you can. The only thing is, the juice might be cold if you kept your celery and cucumber in the fridge before juicing. This may turn your coconut oil solid and make for a chunky juice. Use room temp (like freshly brought home from the store) veggies if you want the oil to stay liquidy,

Not that chunky blended coconut oil is a bad thing. If you blend it enough it's kind of like an ice cream and it soon melts anyway. I always add coconut oil to my smoothies for added calories.

I had to write a piece for a client yesterday about beetroot juice and I learned a lot in the process. Beetroot juice has been scientifically tested and has been shown to improve athletic ability. I don't know if this is something they would probably find with any living juice that they tested, but I think I am going to start juicing beets and see what happens.

Does anyone know if you can eat the green part of the beets? *goes to google*

Do not eat the green parts. Both beet and beet greens are high in oxalic acid. Beet juice is a powerful detoxifier and a blood builder but needs to be combined with neutral vegetables like carrot, cucumber, celery. Also 1/4 of a beet is enough to get desired results. http://www.juicingbook.com/vegetables

[dejaclairevoyant]

Thanks. I was thinking of combining carrot with the beets anyway. Maybe I'll make cucumber carrot lemon beet juice. Mmmm.
