My favorite smoothies, fresh juices and the tools to boot!

Smoothies

For the smoothies, I use my Super 5200 Vitamix. This blender is one of the best investments my family has made. 

'Metabolism boosting' smoothie:

Plain coconut water (or filtered water)

1 mango cut into chunks

1 pear cut into chunks 

The juice of one lime

pinch of cayenne pepper

'Add some green' smoothie:

plain coconut water 

1/2 mango

2 bunches of kale 

1 small pear 

the juice of 1/2 lime 

a sprinkle of cayenne pepper

and a handful of ice cubes

'Sweetened green' smoothie: 

plain coconut water

2 leaves of kale

pineapple

frozen bananas 

a scoop of vanilla Juice Plus+ Complete (like this)

'Super strength' smoothie:

Coconut milk 

kale

spinach 

pineapple

peaches

1 scoop of chocolate Juice Plus+ Complete (like this)

milk thistle (helps detox the liver) (like this)

Juices

For juicing, I use my Breville juicer. I love it! Easy to juice, disassemble, and clean. 

'Clear skin' juice. 

romaine lettuce

kale or spinach

1-2 apples or pears

1 lemon

1 sweet potato

1 beet

1 carrot

(You can replace the sweet potato with a papaya (if on hand, or in season).)

Ingredients for Clear Skin Juice

Clear Skin Juice

'Tropical Sunshine' juice:
2 large carrots
2 pineapple cores
2 medium oranges (skin removed)
2 pears
1 apple

You can make this into a celebration 'soda' by adding the juice to sparkling water. 

'Antioxidant boost' juice:

1 large carrot

1 granny smith apple 

1 white nectarine

the inner core (fibrous part) of a pineapple

3 leaves of kale

1/2 lemon

(The lemon helps to clean out the juicer and push out any remaining juice from the kale plus it's great for digestion and an added detox!)
