New Favorite Morning Juice

So this is day three that I have been on my juice fast, and the nature of it has already changed.  Because I'm a woman, and I get what all women get once a month, I felt weak and sick all yesterday to the point of needing to lay on the couch for most of the day.  Since I have done juicing before and know how it's supposed to feel, I knew I wasn't feeling right.  So I have moderated my juicing fast to include one raw plant-based meal a day in the mid afternoon, with juicing before and after.  Yesterday I had a simple salad with greens, peppers, avocado, and salsa.  Just eating a small salad made me feel so much better, and I am still getting the benefits of nutrient packed juice!

My juice recipe I made today is by far my favorite juice recipe I have made so far.  Of course, it is a fruit juice :)

Ginger Citrus Fruit Juice

Ingredients:

2 oranges, peeled

2 grapefruits, peeled

1 lemon, peeled

1 square inch fresh ginger, peeled

Directions:  Juice all ingredients and serve over ice.

Amy's Notes:  This is a great juice for breakfast, even if you are not on a juice fast.  It put an immediate pep in my step!  It has a perfect subtle ginger taste that works perfectly with the fresh tastes of the citrus fruits.  This recipe could work for those who only have a hand juicer for lemons, just hand juice the oranges, grapefruits, and lemon, then stir in a 1-2 teaspoons of very well minced ginger, or ginger paste.

Ginger is a taste that has started to grow on me over the years, and I find myself using it more and more in stir fries and dipping sauces for veggies and wraps.
