hydrating green juice

May 25, 2019 by Lovoni +

One sure way to receive your daily dose of many essential nutrients required for optimal health for your body, is from the juice of vegetables & a little fruit, using a specific juice extractor that removes the pulp from the vegetables & fruit, leaving only the juice. This hydrating green juice is perfect first thing in the morning (or any time really) to hydrate you after a night’s sleep or a hot workout. It contains spinach, cucumber, celery, apple & lemon. And I chug down almost a liter of this vibrant, green juice six mornings a week, replacing a meal with juice.

hydrating green juice

There are many juice extractors out there, all varying in price. This is the one I use & I’ve had it for almost 10 years, using it almost daily. There are cheaper machines that will probably do as good as if not better job. If you’ve never juiced before I suggest buying a slightly cheaper one & using it to see if it’s something you want to keep doing. I hope you do. Note that a juice extractor is very different to a blender. The idea is to remove the pulp from the vegetables & fruits. This ensures key nutrients are absorbed easily into your body without having to go through the process of having to digest fiber & pulp (essentially one & the same I guess).

hydrating green juice

If you’re a newbie juicer you want to ensure you have a much higher percentage of vegetables to fruit ratio at least 80/20. Fruit juice, although much more palatable than vegetable juice due to its sweetness, is high in natural sugars so keep the fruits to a minimum. Although fruit has many health benefits, I add it to juice to make it taste better. At the end of the day, drinking vegetable juice isn’t like sipping on a cocktail, so don’t go into this thinking the juices will be yummy. They’re not. I juice purely for health benefits. If you’ve not seen Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead & the second documovie, watch them – both of them. They’re eye opening & will show you how powerful juicing can be. And while I’ve never managed a long juice fast, I do replace a meal with juice every day. It’s amazing how that one change can make a difference in your overall health & well being.

hydrating green juice

This juice will give you a lot of the hydration needed after a long night’s sleep. As well as much needed essential nutrients, easily absorbed by the body without the fiber. Although I offer this as two servings, I drink it all in one sitting.

Our darling mum passed away last year. I hear her Our darling mum passed away last year. I hear her voice every day offering support & advice. One of my favourites is this simple ‘start how you want to finish’ advice. It was told to her when she decided she’d take care of her mum, my nan, at home when she became very ill & needed around the clock care. 
As a new year lies before us & we can make it anything we want. So go forth how you want to continue. For me that’s with intent, small reasonable goals, simplifying home & life where possible & taking care of myself both my mental & physical health. 
Last year was a fucker, this year I’m taking care of me. We are nothing without our health. 
Happy 2023 to those who’ve stuck around with me, especially during my absence over the last 12 months, & to the newcomers who’ve joined the Fresh Hunger community. Thank you for your support. I’ve got some fun, helpful projects coming your way I can’t wait to share with you all. L xo
