My morning 9CupChallenge Green Juice. Every day is amazing when it starts with Green Juice. No coffee needed.

Hi 9CupChallenge followers,

I have a full post all about juicing called Getting all juiced up!  I have been tweaking my juice recipe a bit so here is my what I usually make each morning so I can share a serving with my hubby in the morning and still have one for me later in the day.  When he starts asking for a serving later in the day, I will increase the amounts.

A quick note on getting your family on this program – let them ask to be involved – don’t push it on them.  When they are ready they will ask.

Here is what I add to my GREEN juice to start my daily 9CupChallenge

9CupChallenge Green Juice

• 2 stalks of organic celery
• 1 organic carrot
• 6 stems of organic curly parsley
• 2 stems of organic cilantro
• 1 handful of organic baby spinach
• 2 leaves of organic curly kale
• 2 leaves of organic black kale
• 1 inch of organic ginger
• 1 organic Bartlet or Bosc pear
• 1 full English cucumber (I buy conventional and peel it if I remember or have time)
• 1/2 inch of aloe vera leaf – green removed – I use only the clear part

Not every day is the same as I may run out of ingredients and substitute an apple for a pear, or romaine for spinach, or only add one type of kale.  Get creative and try different combinations.  I often forget the aloe and them make myself eat it – a bitter taste by itself but it is very healing to your intestines however it is a lot better when it is in the green juice than by itself.

May your day be filled with 6 cups of veggies and 3 cups of fruit to get you on your path to wellness.  Green juice is a great way to start your day.

To a wonderful start to your day,

Jo-Ann Blondin, your 9CupChallenge partner
