Green Anti-Inflammatory Cold Press Juice
Even though it’s winter, I am craving the greens hard. I have a green smoothie almost daily, but today I made an anti-inflammatory green juice. This is an easy way to get in those chlorophyll rich alkaline vegetables without the body having to digest them. Many of my 12 week nutrition clients have weak digestive fire and they are exhausted. If we are consistently in fight or flight instead of rest and digest then we are nerves are going to be shot and we will feel so depleted. The last function the body is going to focus on is your digestion because it’s sending blood to the extremities to get away from a cougar. A green juice with almost all vegetables is a nourishing way to get vitamins and nutrients. You can even skip that morning coffee and opt for green juice. If you’re always good, drink it room temperature versus ice cold. Listen your body!
I use an omega cold press juicer to keep all those amazing nutrients in my juice.
ginger and turmeric root: anti-inflammatory properties, liver supporting, digestion aid
greens: iron, fibre, chlorophyll which is a blood builder and detoxifier, calcium, vitamin k lemon: taste and vitamin c which helps absorb iron
celery: potassium, sodium, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory
cucumber: easy way to increase juice content as lots of water, phytonutrients, reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, vitamin k
parsley: anti-parasitic, vitamin a, k, c , folate, iron, chemo-protective, flavonoids, heart health, joint health
mint: love the taste, soothes stomach, anti-microbial
INGREDIENTS
all organic ingredients, especially important when juicing
1 celery bunch
1 bunch mint (I actually had a big bag)
1 bunch parsley (can swap for cilantro)
1 large lemon
1 long english cucumber
lacinto kale bunch
several knobs of ginger
1 knob of turmeric
Do you feel energized after drinking green juice?
I intentionally do mixed green juices versus all celery!

My take as a nutritionist on Reese Witherspoon’s viral green smoothie. It’s so good and doesn’t take long to make.
My go to salad dressing! So versatile and delicous made with ingredients you probably have at home.

High protein and filled with healthy unsaturated fats, these make great snacks for adults on the go. My child also loves them made with cacao instead of protein powder. Great to avoid feeling anxious or irritated from skipping a meal. All the benefits of ingredients are listed along with the recipe.
I literally crave this dessert and it’s made from chickpeas! The peanut butter increases the protein content and I list all the benefits of eating beans.
This is the best cake I’ve ever eaten! Plus, the ingredients are amazing. All nutritious whole foods without any oils, gluten or dairy.
These have the best creamy texture and they’re loaded with protein and fat to keep blood sugars more balanced when eating something sweeter!
