Next time I will measure everything to share the delicious recipe!
After trying the juicing recipes for healthy skin, I am completely addicted to juicing; cleaning the juicer… not so much. I started off making simple concoctions without anything I deemed “scary” but now other than BEETS… I can not, will not…simply refuse to ever consume beets. They taste like dirt, always have… always will! But other than beets, pretty much every other vegetable or fruit makes for a good treat. This morning I even tried a smoothie. (I have so many delicious ingredients right now I couldn’t resist mixing them with the juice!)
As juicing has become more popular, you may wonder the difference between juicing and blending, which is better or which is the best for you. Jess of HeyGorJess.Com recently explained the difference between juicing and blending. Click here for the explanation.
With clean eating and juicing and healthy living, it is important to choose foods that provide several benefits, as well as tasting great and satisfying hunger. These 7 detox superfoods were chosen because they contain high concentrations of crucial nutrients, as well as the fact that many of them are low in calories. Foods containing these nutrients have been proven to help prevent and, in some cases, reverse the well-known effects of aging, including cardiovascular disease, Type II Diabetes, hypertension and certain cancers. (Stay aware!)

Kale contains powerful anti-cancer and antioxidant compounds that help cleanse the body of harmful substances. It is also high in fiber, which helps cleanse the intestinal tract. Like cabbage, kale helps neutralize compounds found in cigarette smoke and contains a substance that jump-starts the liver’s production of cleansing enzymes.

Cabbage contains numerous anti-cancer and antioxidant compounds and helps the liver break down excess hormones. Cabbage also cleanses the digestive tract and soothes the stomach, which could in part be due to its antibacterial and antiviral properties. Cruciferous vegetables like cabbage (kale is another excellent choice—see below) demonstrate powerful detoxification activity, including neutralizing some of the damaging compounds found in cigarette smoke (and second-hand smoke). They also contain a compound that helps the liver produce adequate amounts of enzymes for detoxification.
