Nutrition as Medicine and Other Musings

“Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food” ~Hippocrates -------------------------- If you have any questions regarding health and nutrition do not hesitate to ask :)
I know that St. Patrick’s Day isn’t typically associated with green smoothies and juices, but I think maybe it’s time we changed the tradition. If you are one of those people heading out to a weekend celebration with corned beef, Irish bread, cabbage, potatoes, or beer, I hope that you’ll down one of these green drinks before embarking on the festivities. I promise your body will thank you later! 1. Mojito Juice A juice packed with fresh enzymes that resembles a fancy cocktail? I’m in! This combination of cucumber, celery, mint, kale, and lemon will leave your tastebuds begging for more! 2. Green Smoothie 101 Green smoothie newbie? Perfect, you’ve come to the right place! This video tutorial will get you blending up smoothies correctly so your drink ends up healthy and enjoyable! 3. Green Lemonade This fresh juice combo resembles my favorite childhood drink and is loaded with nutrients! The lemons help cut the “green” taste so this drink is perfect for those new to juicing. 4. Energizing Green Smoothie If you are trying to replace your morning cup of joe with something healthier or just need a quick, filling breakfast on-the-go, this smoothie is your new best friend. It’s perfect for boosting energy, detoxing, and helping you recover from a workout. 5. Bok Choy Green Juice This juice is simple and refreshing. I love that it only contains two ingredients and makes me feel amazing anytime I drink it. 6. Kale Smoothie For Kids No green smoothie round-up would be complete without this one! This smoothie is perfect for transforming “picky-eaters” — adults included.  7. Kale Smoothie For Ladies This green smoothie naturally boosts energy (without caffeine!), balances hormones, alleviates cramps, helps stabilize blood sugar, and tastes like chocolate. Enough said.  8. Kale Smoothie With Pear and Herbs This smoothie is one of my favorites in fall when fresh pears are first available at the market, but I love its refreshing quality in spring. The herbs add a beautiful zest that makes me feel like winter is finally over! 9. Mean Green Juice Don’t be intimidated by its name - this juice is incredibly friendly! This post also has a great video to help you get started with the basics of juicing. Drink up!
