Strawberry Plum Juice

Mmmmm juice. There is anything quite like a good fresh juice right out of the juicer from the night before. Some of the vegan "cook books" that I often like to read are those made up of all kinds of smoothie and juice recipes because its fun to see there different ways they can be combined to make something wonderful and delicious. This week Steven and I have been taking big ol' glass jars full of fresh juice with us to work so I have been experimenting with different combinations. Here is one I tried today:



Strawberry Plum Juice
Ingredients:
6 plums- Plums help increase absorption of iron and they have antioxidants.
1 carton of strawberries-Strawberries improve blood sugar regulation and also have antioxidants.
5 apples-Apples help to regulate your blood sugar and they can provide fuel for your large intestine.
1 lemon- Lemons have antioxidant and anti-cancer properties.
2 ribs of celery-Celery has vitamin C and flavonoids
1 cucumber-can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
3 kiwi's-can protect against asthma, heart attacks, heart failure, good for blood sugar, and protects against macular degeneration
3 small/medium carrots-can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, can maximize health benefits, and much more.

Do you want to be energized? Do you want to fuel your body with rich and nutrient dense foods that your body loves? Yes? So do I! I've created this blog to document the different recipes I've created as well as share with you a peek into a Vegan lifestyle and the benefits that come with it. I started on the Vegan diet in October of 2012 and my life was immediately transformed! Before I started on the diet I was often very tired and consistently got sick every month. As soon as I changed my diet I became energized, stopped getting sick, and felt great! I want you to be able to experience the transformation that I felt or even just enjoy incorporating these nutrient rich foods into you normal diet.
