Juice and peanut butter

Most diseases are due to inflammation. This Anti Inflammatory Juice recipe is the perfect blend to help support your body’s natural defenses and reduce inflammation it is also kids friendly 

6 celery stacks

  • 1/2 cucumber

  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1 knob ginger (some kids don't like the taste of it, so its up to you)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of chlorella powder

 

Juice all ingredients and add chlorella. Drink it immediately, since all the benefits from juice comes from its freshness. As soon as you juice fresh ingredients you brake the cell walls of the nutrient rich fruits and vegetables open, activating vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytonutrients, chlorophyll and when they are exposed to oxygen, the process of oxidation defeats most part of drinking freshly squeezed juice. Oxidation can be easily observed on a cut apple, when it changes the color and becomes brown in just couple of minutes.

Celery is always my favorite juicing ingredient. It has countless. Here are just a few of them:
