SERVES 1 COOKING TIME 5mins

Ingredients

8-10 large carrots – peeled if not organic

1″ piece ginger or more – peeled if not organic

1″ piece fresh turmeric root – peeled if not organic

1 lemon

1 teaspoon raw honey

1. Run the carrots, ginger, turmeric, and lemon through a juicer.

2. Pour juice into a blender, add the honey and blend until the honey is incorporated. Enjoy.

NOTES

1. I like to use organic lemons for this juice so that I can run the peel through the juicer and get its oils and benefits into the tonic.

2. I generally use a bit more than 1″ of ginger for this amount of juice, but I like things really fiery. If you are the same way, add some more ginger.

3. We both have this Omega juicer and absolutely love it.

GREEN FUNNEL LIME JUICE

Fennel is a great ingredient for a green juice, as it offers a subtle distinct mild licorice flavor and is very light on the calories. Nutritionally, it’s a great source of minerals such as calcium and potassium and also contains folate and vitamin C. This low-sugar juice has great flavor, especially if you add the fennel leaves.

PINEAPPLE GREEN TEA JUICE 

Studies have shown that the vitamin C content (in the lemon and pineapple) helps increase the antioxidant benefits and cancer-fighting properties of the green tea. Results suggest that combining green tea with citrus juices or vitamin C increases the amount of catechins available for the body to absorb. Green tea is also great for weight loss and appetite control. So, it’s a flavorful win-win.
