FEEL-GOOD FACT

When it comes to magnesium, cacao is at the top of the charts, offering more than any other food. Magnesium plays an extremely important role in the body, including aiding in the absorption of calcium, promoting detoxification, and helping ease symptoms of PMS and menopause.

Tasty Kale Juice

When taking the first sip of this green juice, you may be shocked that it tastes so refreshing, clean and delicious! It's so light, almost like a green colored lemonade! Give it a go!

 

This is an incredibly healthy, refreshing way to start your day. Kale is full of calcium and antioxidants and just about everything else—it’s one of the best things you can put into your system. Kale and other green vegetables are super alkalizing for your system, and therefore helps to cleanse the body. When juiced with a bit of lemon and agave, kale turns into a sort-of grassy lemonade.

No worries if you don’t have a juicer, a blender and a sieve do the trick.

  • 1 bunch of organic kale, stems removed and leaves washed
  • 1 green apple, juiced
  • the juice of 2 small lemons
  • 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of agave nectar (optional)
  • 1/2 cup cold, filtered water

Combine everything in a blender and blend until completely pureed. It might take a little bit of time and manpower to get it going. Strain the juice through a fine sieve or colander into a bowl, pushing down on the solids with a kitchen spoon being sure to extract all the juice. Taste the juice and add a bit more lemon or agave if you think it needs it. Pour into a glass and drink up!
