And for the third installment today on my Juice focus, I’ve chosen one that I leave for those cheat days when I’m ok loading up on fruits because there aren’t any greens to help balance the sugar spike. That said, this is a great recipe packed with powerful antioxidants, and so long as you indulge now and then on a treat like this, your body can handle the insulin spike with ease, and by adding a nut butter to add some protein and fiber, you can help balance the effects of the fruits. 

Enjoy!

Green Juice packed with an Iron punch

I’ll be honest – I haven’t quite mastered the juicer yet. I know I can overcome this fear, but whenever I think about the massive amounts of veggies I need to have on hand at one time to make sure I’m getting my fix, I realize I often fall short in the “visits to the grocery store” category. So, I’m signing up for a local Organic Foods delivery service (Go Greenling!) And until then, I will continue to buy a lot of my juices from Whole Foods or Central Market. But for those of you who have it down, here are some of the recipes I end up with, though it starts with all natural juice from the store (note they freshly make the juice themselves so it’s like I did it myself, just more expensive). Ahh, when will I learn?!

So the good news is you don’t need a juicer to whip up refreshing and super healthy drinks. I’m starting a Juice recipes feature, all of which can be made in your blender—so no specialty equipment is needed. Because of the fiber in fresh fruit and vegetable purées, these concoctions vary in thickness: You can adjust to your taste preference simply by adding a little water.

And no matter which juice you choose, you’ll get good-for-you benefits in every sip.

Want a smoothie instead?
Combine 1 cup juice from any recipe, 1 cup ice cubes, 1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt, and 1 medium peeled banana in a blender. Purée until smooth
