This juice is very high in electrolytes such as magnesium, calcium and potassium so it is great after exercise. This juice is also high in iron, chlorophyll, vitamin c, folic acid, beta-carotenes and much more. Kale has SO many health benefits, one being this leafy green is high in lutein and zeaxanthin which has been shown to protect the eyes against age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.
Chlorophyll is associated with an increase in detoxification and elimination. It can help with body odour and halitosis during a detox.

Hi Claire, I am unfortunate enough to have Gout and I can’t be sure what caused the flare up but the last time i made a drink from kale and spinach I couldn’t get to sleep because of the pain in my foot. have you heard of anything like this happening because of kale/spinach juice?
Hi Darren,
This week Stacy wrote a great article on gout! I hope this gives you plenty of ideas to reduce the flare-up http://www.jointhereboot.com/your-reboot-gout/
Get some “Braggs Apple Cider Vineagar” a few table spoons in water a few times a day. Mom at 87 does this to keep it away.
or use pure cherry juice. It’s good for Gout.
If you have gout DON’T use spinach in your green juice because it is one of the things that sets gout off. I make two batches, the regular for me and one without spinach for my roommate who has terrible gout. No red meat, mushrooms or alcohol for those of you with gout. He follows those steps (even tho he LOVES meat) and he hasn’t had an attack for 18 months. He used to get them ALL the time – each time worse! He also drinks real cherry juice or takes cherry supplements.
Awesome feel great juice!
Looks good!!

I am on day 5 of the juicefast.God’s Juice..it going ok, 2nd day a big caffeine headache for half the day and into the nite.. now its gone, I am experimenting with green combinations I like, the ginger does not work for me. I have lost 6 lbs, that is a great incentive to keep me going. I want to do the 60 days, I have 70 extra pounds on my little, once very sexy body, so I am trying hard to keep with it. I had my partner Dave take before pictures…OMG He must really love me, I did not realize I look as bad as I do, I was not seeing what the picture showed.. now when I fell I want to cheat, I pull out those pix…. Thanks for the movie, I am hoping it will change my life as it has yours.. Oh I also started a 5K for couch potaotes app I added on my iphone, its cool you walk/run for 25 -30 minutes at intervals with voice command on the app… I do this 3 days a week. Go God’s Juice.
A friend that’s in my group I joined on face book “thirty in ninety days” and myfitness.com shared this video with me. I seen the promo on television but forgot to watch. It took me two days to watch but I finally finished it today. I’ve been working out and have lost weight before and gain some back because of life challenges. My daughter and I are deciding to do the 7 day juice challenge. I want the energy back into my life. I want to try and do things without worry about my weight hindering me. My birthday is coming up in Dec and I would like to have 40lbs off by then. My goal was 60lbs but I already have the 20lbs gone. This gives me four and half month to loose the 40lbs meeting that goal. I am going to keep a journal on this 7 days juicing. I am hoping after the 7th day that I am able to continue on. Tomorrow will be my start day, so i need to go out and get all my fresh fruit and veggies for the juice. Thanks for sharing your journey
nutrition info please
Darren,
My mom uses “Braggs Apple Cider Vineagar” for her Gout 3 times a day with some water when it flares up. I have been drinking it, just because, its good for you it will keep your Uric Acid level down that is what the problem is. It is crystalline substance in your joints.
I just came up with a delicious juice tonight! Was looking for produce with good amounts of zinc and selenium, and discovered that the lemongrass in my backyard fit the bill – this juice is really refreshing!
1 cup water
2 cups lemongrass
2 apples,
piece of ginger
a bit of ice
After blending I poured it over ice. Really refreshing!
This may be a dumb question…but where it says to use the stalks, does that mean the whole fluffy green tops, or just the rigid celery-like stalks?
On a whim, I bought some gorgeous fennel at the farmer’s market today thinking it might be interesting to try juicing with the (also gorgeous) kale — looking forward to trying this recipe!
Given my juicing experiment from this morning, with a different concoction, two celery sticks may be a little strong for my taste. Otherwise, the elixir sounds wonderful!
