Juice Anyone?

Today, I would like to welcome our guest blogger Shurlana! She knows the ins and outs of juicing. Whether you’re a juice warrior or just getting started, she’s your girl!

How do you take your juice my love? Shaken, sweet, stirred, mild, strong, clear, jittery, minty fresh, bitter, savory, grounding?

Whatever your fancy, a juice usually does the trick right? I'm speaking about this only because I love juices and you would too if you tried a fresh one. Maybe you enjoy a freshly squeezed orange juice to start and brighten your day, or a green juice that kick starts your gonads? Whatever your fancy, juicing is the way to go!

Please note that I am not discussing the difference between juicing and blending in this article, or which is better or more nutritious. You can Google that argument if you choose but for the purposes of this blog, I’ll stick to my purpose, which is to ignite juice lovers everywhere.

We stack the odds in our favor BIG time when we consume a diet high in chlorophyll, vitamins, enzymes and oxygen. These big green powerhouses of nutrients are totally available to us in a glass full of green goodness. Trust me! It’s great for your skin, hair, nails, brain and entire LIFE. Try everything!

Juicing works because it removes the fibre through the process of squeezing the pulp. This instantly lightens the load on our digestion. Nutrients pass directly into the bloodstream, and within minutes, your body receives optimum fuel to feed your cells and help restore your immune system. Immunity boost, anti-inflammation and antioxidants abound. Juicing allows your system much needed rest. When your body spends less energy on digestion, it spends more on repair.

Green drinks, juices and yes, even smoothies (made correctly), help balance blood sugar, supply plant based protein, and purge tons of toxins from their hiding places. If possible, consume an upward of thirty-six ounces of green juice/smoothie daily. Caution: Pre-packaged store-bought juices do not count; they are not raw, unless they are made fresh for you.

My dears, I hope you are motivated! What you eat gives you the energy required to function, and with a clean body, you can have a clear mind. You are now entitled to the power of illumination, light and abundance because you’re filled with the highest activating energy. This is great for achievement, prosperity and bliss to abound!

Juice lovers, drink on! Live, love, and enjoy life. Be bliss!
