Green Juice To Kick Off 2014

It is day 3 of the New Year and I am feeling more energized than ever before! 

A huge part of my energy boost has come from adding in way more vegetables and fruits to my diet over the past year. A great way to kick off 2014 is by making green juices and smoothies to add in delicious raw fruits and vegetables to your diet. In addition to boosting energy, the benefits of juicing and blending fruits and vegetables include: detoxification, natural weight loss, clearer skin, mental clarity and focus, reduce cravings, increase in antioxidants and fiber, and alkalization. 

I'd like to share with you The Ultimate Green Juice recipe made by Pauline Hanuise for MindBodyGreen. All you need is a juicer! If you don't have a juicer, you can buy one( doesn't have to be an expensive one!) OR see my previous post for a beginner green smoothie recipe to try out with a blender.
