    I juice at least once per day and over time I've found I like them with less and less fruit. Here's my go to recipe that makes enough for my husband and I to both have a huge glass.

    GREEN JUICE

    3 small green apples
    2 cucumbers peeled unless organic
    7 stalks of celery
    3 handfuls of spinach
    2 handfuls of brussels sprouts
    1/2 lemon
    1 in of ginger peeled

    The apples do add some sweetness, but it's a green juice. If you want more recipes please let me know, I've got lots!

    Oh that is great and it sounds yummy!! Can you tell me the plus to juicing once a day? Do you lose more weight doing that once a day? I am new at this whole juicing thing but I heard it is really good for you.

    My favourite post-workout is, celery, cucumber,carrots and limes. Throw in some strawberries and blueberries if you want it extra yummy.

    Well I think the benefits are different for everyone. Personally, I suffer from fibromyaglia and migraines and I've found that juicing helps me to control the pain. When I juice daily, the inflammation in my body is reduced tremendously, I have energy to spare and I just feel great. Juicing is low calorie, so replacing at least one meal a day for me does result in weight loss. BUT it's really the nutrients and health benefits that I love more than the weight loss. I eat about 90% vegan, but allow myself to indulge when it's a celebratory time.

    For juicing ideas I really like Kris Carr, she wrote, "Crazy, Sexy, Cancer", she has a cookbook and her website has a ton of recipes. I watched, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" which shows amazing transformations, but for me juicing 100% of the time wasn't realistic for my lifestyle or budget.

    Like I said, it's different for everyone, but adding juice / vegan eating to my daily routine has given me my life back.
