Liquid-y Day.....Lori Painter~Yoga for Back and Hips!

I hope you all are having a good day!  I've been busy around the house today.  I love home! 

Routine cleaning~food prep and some schooling with my daughter

Pictured above are part of my liquids for the day. 

Two bottles of Cucumber, Celery, lemon, ginger juice and a green smoothie.

Daily Green Juice

2 whole cucumbers

4 cups of celery

about 1/3 c. lemon juice (I didn't measure)

1" piece of ginger

squirt of stevia

I just blended this in my Vita-Mix and strained it!

Easy peasy!

this made a little over 32 oz.

I already had one 16 oz prepared in the fridge (not pictured) that I drank this a.m.

This juice is hydrtating, cleansing and beautifying for the skin! We could call it an anti-aging juice.

You can add a granny smith apple, pear or pineapple to sweeten it up if you like.  I prefer the fruit in my smoothies and not in my juices most of the time.

Green Smoothie

1 container of blackberriess

2 mango's

2 banana's

1 c. pineapple

1" piece of ginger

4-5 oz of spinach

few ice cubes

Blend in Vita-Mix or high powered blender

All of this should keep me going until dinner tonight and then I will prepare a savory blended soup or salad with some hemp seeds and/or tahini.
