Watercess + veggie n fruit juice drink

I like the spicy flavor of this one. You know sometimes you just gotta have more spice in your life LOL!  I juiced this for dinner. My 3 yo drank half my cup! What could be better than your young kiddo's hearing the juicer fire up and running to you with their cups??? Blesses me more than I can say. Both of our older boys went to separate  pool parties today for finishing up the school year. When we arrived to pick on of them up the parents asked me to bring in our 3 lil ones. You can only imagine their JOY!!! They had a bunch o pizza  after they got out of the pool. So the juice drink was deeply enjoyed after a 111 degree hot day.

about a cup of watercress
1 bunch radishes
2 apples
7 carrots
1 piece of ginger
2 cucumbers
1 lemon
2 drops of doTERRA essential lemon oil


This combo is a hit :)

BLESSINGS!

Veggie + grapefruit juice drink

Just what a I needed!!! To be refreshed and recharged :) This juice drink made that happen quickly. I love the taste of the greens in it plus the added tangy taste of the grapefruit/lime combo. Went to the lake today with a dear friend. Our kiddo's played for a few hours in the water. I had this for dinner. After being energy sapped by the sun I sure needed this juice.


4 chard leaves
1 cucumber
8 celery ribs
1 lime
1 apple
1 grapefruit

I drank the first half really quickly then walked into my room saw my doterra lemon essential oil and dropped a couple drops in it. Gave it more of a zing.

No time to mess around I gulped it down :)

BLESSINGS!

Habanero + lemon + Ginger and Greens Juice Drink

Holy WOW hot fire juice drink! This is Lou Corona's daily juice recipe. I think I could drink it each day just so I cool like Lou :) Can't call anyone a Sissy lala for drinking this.  Even my daughter that is 7 drank this. You gotta try it.

K I did I not have the arugula to add nor did I add 3 habanero's like Lou uses. So this is what I used....

1 Habanero pepper
1 lemon
1 ginger knob
2 green apples
1 pink lady apple
2 handfuls of spinach
1 bunch of parsley
1 bunch of cilantro

Lou Corona's drink does not have spinach. He uses arugula and adds 2 more habanero's. Ya he is a real rockstar!

Let me know what you think of this drink :) It's a very flavorful drink. If I was not detoxed enough, well I sure will be now.


Happy January Detoxing.

Beet leaves + Green Apples Plus Other Friends Juice Drink

LOL yes I said plus other friends! I like the zing or zest of this juice drink!!! I am ready for another glass right now. I believe this drink will be a hit with my lover! You know WHAT??  He is thinking about doing a juice fast :) Oh you know I will keep him loaded up with yummy veggie/fruity juices. He has always admired me for my juicing lifestyle. He is totally for all the healthy eating and. However the pocket book is not a fan so much so Lucas has always put himself last and said you juice Babe....He has watched me struggle with blood sugar crap "which totally is doing good", thyroid lameness and adrenal burnout. Plus painful hurting legs with relentless varicose veins. Why in the world am I telling you all this!!???? Well guess what I am HUMAN and really seeking Papa God to touch me as well as what my brain plus hours of reading/researching tells me is healing. Holy spirit is with me as I am on my herb seeking expedition's. I am just trusting God that he will fill our fridge up with fresh organic produce so Lucas can join in this health quest!! I would love to see Lucas free from hateful migraine pain and allergies. He has a dream to live long and to be near all of our future grandchildren. I am all for his dream!!! Papa God is good at making dreams come true when we really go after them :) So now that you have read this book I wrote about the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful are you ready for the juice drink? I promise its a goody!

1 piece of ginger
5 or more celery ribs
4 beet leaves
1 beet
6 carrots
1 lime
2 apples 

 I bet even some spinach would be good in this one.

Seriously I wish I had another glass of this stuff in front of me it is that good!

I hope that nothing I said detours you from juicing. I just want you I am not perfect!  I am still seeking healing for my body. Nothing more thrills me then when I hear of others being healed and FEELING good inside!! We can wipe our lying symptoms from our bodies! I get texts or emails through the day asking what to do for certain aliments all day. Even though I might not be able to answer it all it sure is fun to point someone in the right direction if I can :) I love herbs and all the healthy kind of stuff and am ALL for food tasting GOOD and not like a stick of celery! AMEN!! Blessings friend!!!

Pomegranate Juice Drink

Pomegranate = lips puckered up! My very sweet friend gave me some last week. My children LOVE eating them and picking out the seeds to crunch on. I was going to juice the pomegranates with kiwi fruits ......well my children had a different idea...... That would be called lets eat a bag of kiwi fruit in a day and not let Mom experiment with any juicing LOL. Blesses me to the max to see my kids eating  healthy!So I could not complain about the bag being eaten. Besides it only had 6 small kiwi fruit in it. The juice blend turned out great without it :) Don't you just love it when things turn out amazing even though you had another plan in mind? I do ..... ya know surprise kinda things :)

1 pomegranate
2 Bartlet pears
1 large Fuji apple or 2 for sweeter tasting
2 oranges

It was a hit with all my kids :) I will make this one again.

Want to share with you some goodies on pomegranates.  They are perfect for helping heal coronary heart disease, reducing  blood pressure, slowing down breast and prostate cancer plus used for its antibacterial properties. Natural remedies for using pomegranate include getting rid of diarrhea and intestinal parasites! I say DIE DIE DIE parasites! Sorry I tend to be a big aggressive towards them..... Pomegranates are really good when used as a astringent . The benefits would include stopping bleeding noses and gums, toning skin, firming sagging breasts and hemorrhoids. Say what what??? Sagging breasts? Wow maybe one day I will make a concoction and let you know :) I even read that some use pomegranates to lay on breasts to kill cancer! If that is for real dude that is some raw healing!!!! My brain is now thinking on all that we could use this fruit for. God is so awesome to give us fruit to heal our bodies! So eat or drink more pomegranates please :)

Carrot + Celery + Parsely + Garlic Juice

Yum good stuff! I don't know about you but I just like the taste of garlic! I love what garlic does for my body. Garlic should be a part of our daily diet - in my opinion :)  Hope you like this juice recipe.

7 carrots
2 cloves of garlic
4 celery sticks
handful of parsley

Garlic + Tomatoes + Apple Juice

Happy Fall Friends :)

I have always been fond of garlic. There are so many health benefits from consuming garlic. Recently I have learned a new twist on it. I will share later :) But for now the juice recipe!

2 fuji apples
3 roma tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic - or less

Juice this up!!! Now most people know that garlic KILLS viral flu bugs, bacterial infections, yeast/fungus and works great on staph infections. The allicin and the diallyl sulphides in garlic are the "antibiotic" that is sought after. I feel we have so much to gain from the use of garlic. When I feel a cold I take a TBS of garlic mince it up and put it in olive oil and shoot it down my throat. My friend Ronda taught me that about  7 years ago and ever since I have appreciated it! Really cuts colds in half or stops them dead in their tracks. Garlic works on killing worms in your gut. Gasp yes I did say worms. Won't get into all that but garlic is great for killing them along with parasites. Now tell me is this some good stuff or what? I would LOVE to have several garlic gardens!!! I use loads of it so we tend to go through it.

GARLIC - GET IT AND JUICE LOTS OF IT! YOU LOVE THE GARLIC YES YOU DO :)

Refreshing drink I will say :) Did you know there is a more than 3000 varieties of pears? Ya now wrap your mind around that one! What is even more wild is that a pear tree can live longer than a 100 years and produce fruit even being that old! Pears have a good amount of potassium in them too. Can you tell I like pears? Yep pears are cool! 


3 pears

Apricot Pear Juice Drink

Loving the "fruity" summer drinks I been juicin up! I was not sure if I would like this one, but it gets a high five baby! The kids enjoyed this one too :)  The pears sweeten up the apricots. Try this one and you won't be disappointed.

I am dreaming of living next to a fruit stand.........

4 apricots
3 Bartlett pears

Just two fruits make melody together all juiced up :)

Um yes I did drink quite a bit before I took the picture.

Found some info on line about apricots:
Helping to prevent the development of eye diseases is another one of the health benefits of apricots. Lutein and zeaxanthin are members of the carotenoid family along with beta-carotene. They are the only carotenoids found in the retina of the eye. They act as antioxidants protecting the retina from the free radicals in UV light. Research shows that this protection significantly reduces the risk of developing macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma, eye disease that have the potential to cause permanent blindness. It is important to note that lutein and zeaxanthin are found most abundantly in the skins of the apricot, so when making homemade apricot juice, be sure to juice them with the skins on. Many commercial fruit juices are created from peeled fruits, which can greatly deplete the final nutrition left available in the juice.

Strawberry + Orange + Grapefruit Juice Drink

Oooooh I can feel that the summer juicing drinks will be delicious :) Love summertime fruits and veggies!
This drink is tangy and sweet. My older boys said they taste the strawberry first then the grapefruit. I betcha my kiddos will be asking for this one often. We need a orchard to satisfy our juicing habit :)


2 cups fresh strawberries
1 orange
1 grapefruit

Some good facts about strawberries:

Strawberries are an excellent source of dietary fiber and Vitamins C and K. They are a very good source of manganese, pantothenic acid, vitamin B1, and iodine. They are a good source of folic acid, biotin, and vitamin B6. Strawberries contain high levels of antioxidants, which can decrease the risk of chronic disease.
