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!

Strawberry Cherry Spinach Powerhouse Protein Shake

Don't let the word "spinach" scare you from making this delicious protein shake. It's incredibly easy and delicious. Try this after a workout and not only will your muscles be thanking you, but so will your entire body! The spinach in the recipe provides essential vitamins like C, A and K, as well as the antioxidant, Lutein. The cherries in the recipe also add some much needed Vitamin B!

NOTE: This would be really fun to make for Valentine's Day because it is pink, despite the addition of the spinach. The protein powder that you use may change the color slightly.
