Living Green recipes


This is a collection from Living Green magazine...I haven't tried them all, but the ones I have are delicious.

Apple Berry Fiber
Apples are excellent for cleansing the system. The berries provide C, E and minerals.
3 apples
5 oz of cranberry juice (fresh or pure store bought juice)
2 oz of fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon of powdered psyllium (fiber)
Juice the apples then blend the juice in a blender with the cranberry juice, blueberries, and powdered psyllium
Green Pineapple
Refreshing and bursting with goodness
7 oz of pineapple
3.5 oz of broccoli
3.5 oz of cucumber
1 kiwi
Peel the kiwi, and juice the broccoli, kiwi and cucumber. Serve immediately.
Orange Pineapple Chili
This juice is full of vitamin C and the enzymes in the pineapple are great at dissolving mucus that can accumulate in the system. Chiles not only give a nice kick, they also help speed up metabolism. There’s no oranges in it, it’s just orange in color :)
8 oz of carrot
8 oz of pineapple
½ lime peeled
½ small chili 
Juice the carrot, pineapple and lime then throw it into a blender with the chilies and a couple of ice cubes.
Gingered Pear
Pears are a gentle laxative and celery acts as a diuretic. Ginger promotes good digestion.
5 oz of pear
3 oz of celery
1 inch piece of fresh ginger root 
Juice all ingredients together and serve over ice or put in a blender with ice cubes to make it creamier.
Strawberry Tomato
This drink is full of phytonutrients including lycopene (proven to have anticancer properties)
7 oz of strawberries
14 oz of tomatoes (approx 2-3)
A few basil leaves 
Juice all ingredients together and serve over ice cubes if desired. I love this one!
Spicy Lemonade
Apples and lemons are very cleansing.
3 apples
½ lemon
1 yellow pepper
1 inch cube of ginger root 
Juice all together and drink immediately
Slimming Drink
This will enliven your whole body, lower blood pressure, aid digestion, boost the immune and eliminate toxins. Also good to help your body handle stress.
2 oranges
½ lemon
3.5 oz of beetroot
3.5 oz of spinach
3.5 oz of celery
3.5 oz of carrot
1 inch cube of ginger root 
Peel the orange and lemon, then juice with the rest of the ingredients. This makes about 2 large glasses. Cut in half if you only want one glass.
Pink Smoothie
Nutritious and satisfying, this smoothie is high in vitamin C. The combo of apple and natural yogurt are great for the digestive tract.
2 oranges
1 apple
3 oz of raspberries (fresh or frozen)
3 oz of strawberries(fresh or frozen)
5 oz of natural live yogurt
Juice the oranges and the apple, then blend the juice in a blender with the rest of the ingredients. Serve immediately.

Nourishing and rich in iron, calcium beta carotene and potassium.
