JUICED THE FAT AWAY


It doesn’t have to be the same old things. The sky is the limit to the many different ways you can blend the juices, this week I will share just a few.

Mixture #1

Mix 1 cup apple juice
¾ cup spinach juice
¼ cup water
2 (8 oz) servings

Mixture #2
Mix 1 cup apple juice
1 cup carrot juice
1 cup celery juice

Mixture #3
Mix 1 cup asparagus juice
1 cup tomato juice
1 teaspoon honey

Adding ice cubes turns juice into smoothies.
Like some sweetness, try extract flavoring or honey. Mineral water instead on regular water. You can add extra fiber with flax seed or wheat germ. Trying cutting the sweet with lemon or lime.
You can spice up your drinks with Tabasco, Teriyaki or Worcestershire sauce, garlic or other spices you like. Its might be the same old drink but it will have a different taste.
