I discovered juicing is easy using Breville Juicer JE98XL or Vitamix blender (this is the most powerful blender in the market. Costco has the best deal). Please google to find the best deal.
Green Juice
48 oz (3 meals)
This is the recipe used by Joe Cross
- organic kale (1 big bunch) –
*avoid adding kale if you are taking Synthroid or suspect you have thyroid problems; cook the kale first* - organic lemon (3)
- organic celery (5)
- cucumber (1)
- granny smith apple (3)
- ginger (1 piece)
- romaine lettuce (2)
(I sip this juice all day long for a long day at work!)
- organic beets (2 mid sized)
- organic Fuji apple (1 large)
- organic lemon (2 large)
- Red cabbage (1/4 head)
- Ginger (1″ piece)
- organic carrot (5)
- organic celery (4)
Scrub produce (no need to peel), cut in half and put into a zip-top bag the night before – then pop them into the juicer in the morning!
(Tamie’s Tip: I would not recommend you to drink kale juice every single morning.The reason is non-cooked fresh kale has goitrogenic properties to cause hypo and hyperthyroidism. I see sub-per hypothyroidism patients come with adrenal exhaustion in my clinic everyday. If Kale and other cruciferous vegetalbes are cooked, it can mitigate this risk. I encourage you to eat cruciferous vegetables but it will be wise to eat with non-goitrogenic vegetables like cucumbers, beets, celery, parsley, zucchini and carrots. If you love to drink this juice, and you are a womean, please do not forget to add 5 stalks of celery!)
