Juicing for weight loss with Joe Cross
Light to drink and a touch of sour makes this juice a winner. The pomelo grapefruit and the lime give it its sour kick while adding ice to the juice and blending it certainly gives the juice a great cooling element with a thicker consistency. Give it a try and get crushing in your kitchen.
You might look at this recipe and think these ingredients make an unlikely pairing but oh, it’s a delicious one! Step out of your comfort and try this combination the next time you’re making a green smoothie.
Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, cauliflower, brussels sprouts) are well known for being super-packed with nutrients, fiber and antioxidants. Get this juice packed with those veggies and get your boost of health.
Perhaps you are like me and you had a bumper crop of basil this year (and are tired of making pesto to use it all up!). Or you are looking for a refreshing drink to make the summer linger even as autumn moves in. Look no further than this watermelon-basil agua fresca!
This mighty juice has a zesty yet refreshing flavor and is packed with easy-to-find ingredients that you may already have on hand. I used this juice as a post-run nutrient-packed recovery juice this weekend. Although it’s getting chillier up here in the northeast, a good workout will still give you a good sweat and that means lost electrolytes, but this juice replenishes you!
Summer produce is vibrant and fresh but sadly the season is winding down in many regions. I love fresh juice and I’m often looking for a great tasting veggie-heavy option. This mostly-veggie (lime is the only fruit!) gem is full of health promoting antioxidants in the carotene family thanks to the red pepper and carrots. Enjoy it while these seasonal veggies are still available.
‘Tis the seasons for peppers – red, green, long, skinny, fat, short – you name it, they’re here. Peppers come in different shapes and sizes and offer different nutrients depending on their color. A pleasantly sweet taste, this juice is delicious with a zesty and refreshing flavor thanks to the combination of the peppers and the pear. And it has a nice kick thanks to the ginger and lime! Enjoy the recipe.
While this juice may sound “too green”, give it a try first! You may be surprised that it contains 140 mg of calcium, 140 mg of magnesium and 1200 mg of potassium (crazy), and tastes good.
Try this zesty juice as a way to power you up pre- or post-exercise as it’s loaded with electrolytes. It’s only three ingredients and one of them is the beautiful peach! Get the recipe.
