Refreshing Green Juice

Call me crazy but I'm to the point where I CRAVE this juice every day. Don't let the color throw you off or the fact that it has no fruit - it is still very refreshing! Try it out!

Refreshing Green Juice

Ingredients:

• 1 organic English cucumber, sliced
• 2 lemons, peeled if not organic
• 2-3 cups organic spinach and/or kale
• 2 scoops Kal Pure Stevia Extract
• 2 cups water
• 2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Directions (using a Vitamix)

1. Place all ingredients in a Vitamix (in order listed above).

2. Turn Vitamix on variable power, speed 1 and gradually increase until all ingredients are blended. Add more spinach and/or kale if possible. Turn on variable power again. Then, turn Vitamix on high power and let juice for 30-60 seconds until mixture is in juice consistency.

Makes 2 servings. I usually split this up over 2 days.

Enjoy!

Jillian Michaels' Detox Water

Plain and simple...just the way we like it!

Jillian Michaels' detox water consists of distilled water, cranberry juice, organic dandelion root tea and lemon juice. Why these particular ingredients mixed together? It's a natural diuretic drink!

But WAIT! Isn't distilled water bad for you? The short answer is no...distilled water isn't bad for you. Many people have this misconception because distilled water is slightly acidic and doesn't contain any organic minerals because everything except for the pure H2O is removed during the distillation process. You want to use distilled water for a cleanse or detox because you want the pure water to help remove toxins from your system, not add more toxins back into your system!

Moreover, your kidneys regulate the minerals you consume through the foods you eat, so unless you have existing kidney issues (and contrary to the opinions in the comments section), this drink will not harm you! With that said, we use spring water or alkalized water for daily water consumption while not detoxing. We don't recommend distilled water for daily consumption because our diets are already very acidic by nature, so alkaline water is the best way to go to keep your pH balance in check.

This is a detox water that you drink along with your clean, healthy meals...it is not designed to be a full-fledged cleanse, rather it should be used to reduce bloating and water weight. It's perfect to drink when you're seven days away from a big event.
