Allergy Relief Juice

Picture
The past few weeks I was having the absolute worst allergies after being out of my element for a little while.  So, when I got back home and to my juicer, I immediately looked up some allergy relief juices and ingredients.  Here is the concoction I came up with from my research.

All you need is...

  • 2 orange
  • 1/8 lemon
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 3 handfuls carrots (I generally use baby carrots)
  • Chunk of ginger root (about size of thumb)
  • 6-8 mint leaves


Add all of this into juicer, stir up, and enjoy!

Thirsty Thursday - Let's Get Naked!

I find myself traveling quite a bit between visiting family and friends, then finding balance by getting settled in back at home to refocus and get back into routine.  As you can probably tell by now, keeping on top of my nutrition is a big thing for me and it has been a bit of a struggle when I don't have the comforts of my own kitchen (where I spend much of my time at home).  All that I think about for the first week I'm away from my humble abode is, "DAMN I miss my juicer!"  In my recent experiences with being away from home (and my juicer) for extended periods of time, I have grown to love trying all the variety of flavor Naked Juice offers.  Here are some of my favorites for when you too are on the road.

The Kitchen Sink

Picture
The Kitchen Sink is a great way to get that mid-morning or afternoon boost and feel detoxed. With a variety of both fruits and vegetables, you will feel the wonderful effects of nearly every vitamin and nutrient you could possibly think of.
I love making this juice after a run or workout session around lunchtime, and pairing it with something light like an open-faced egg or tuna salad sandwich on whole grain bread. 

All you need is...

  • 1/5 apple
  • 1/7 mango
  • 1/4 cucumber
  • 2 kale leaves
  • 1/3 beet (root & stem)
  • 2 handfuls carrots (I generally use baby carrots)
  • 2 handfuls white sweet corn
  • 1/4 sweet potato
  • 1 handful black- and raspberries
  • 1 large strawberry
  • 2 handfuls broccoli florets


Add all of this into juicer, stir up, and enjoy!
