I am surrounded by germs at the moment. Between my office and home, almost everyone is sick. I felt a little under the weather for several days, but so far I’ve been able to ward it off. I’m definitely convinced that my strengthened immunity is due to all the fresh juices I’ve been drinking!
For this week’s SPUD juicing box I opted for the Organic Dynamic Beauty Juicing Box, which is a beautiful combination of apples, beets, carrots, celery, chard, cilantro, cucumber, ginger, kale, lemons, green bell peppers, and spearmint. This was the first box that I tried from SPUD and I love all the different flavor combinations you can make with these juices.
This week I’ve been playing around with lots of carrot-based juices. If you are new to juicing, I definitely recommend starting with a carrot-based juice because it will be incredibly sweet, even without the addition of fruit! Some of my favorite combinations from this week’s produce box include:
- 5 carrots, 3 kale leaves, and 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger
- 3 carrots, 2 beets, 1/4 apple, and 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger
- 3 carrots, 3 celery stalks, 3 chard leaves, and small handful of mint
- 3 carrots, 1/2 cucumber, and small handful of mint
This juice is a sweet and zesty mix between the carrots, bell pepper, and cilantro. I also love adding a lemon for a nice tartness and even more alkalizing power. For an additional immune boost (and to ward off vampires), try sneaking in a garlic clove or two!
I looove cilantro so I actually added quite a big handful to my juice. If cilantro’s not your thing, you can either leave it out or substitute with a different fresh herb like parsley. Drink up!
- 5 medium carrots
- small handful cilantro
- ½ green bell pepper
- 1 lemon, peeled
- Juice ingredients and enjoy!
This juice sounds awesome. I just ordered a juicer a couple of days ago and it’s set to arrive Tuesday-Wednesday. I can’t wait to start juicing so i’m definitely going to try this one out! I LOVE cilantro too, I use several bunches a week because I end up putting it in almost everything!
Sounds very tasty!
this juice sounds great! i have been fighting a cold and I think this is just what the doctor ordered! I love the addition of cilantro!
I am doing a 21-day cleanse, and juicing is how I start every day. I was very excited to try this juice yesterday morning and WOW. DELICIOUS!!!! The sweet carrots and the pop of cilantro would convert anyone.
Adore this recipe and everything you do.
Best,
Dawn
Thanks Dawn! Good luck on your cleanse!
