Many people make the mistake of looking at a diet as a time when they have to limit their food intake and feel deprived all of the time. This is not the case at all if you are eating the right foods. Even when you are on a diet, you can eat as many fruits and vegetables you want. There are many different ways to prepare them so that they have a flavourful taste that you can actually look forward to trying. I find that the hardest time for me to eat well is when I am on the run. This great juice recipe has saved me from stopping to get a quick bite to eat at one of the unhealthy fast food restaurants. It is quick and easy to make and really good for you.
Ingredients:
- 1 Celery stick
- 2 Handfuls of spinach leaves
- ¼ Cucumber
- ½ Small pineapple.
- 4 Golden delicious apples
- ¼ Lime
The pineapple and apples will need to be peeled and chopped before they can be used.
Directions:
- Place the cucumber, pineapple, lime, spinach, celery, and 3.5 apples into the juicer.
- Juice the vegetables and fruits until all of the juice is out of them.
- Place the rest of the apples into a blender with the juice that you have just made.
- Add ice to the blender.
- Blend the ingredients together for roughly 45 seconds.
- Pour into a glass or to-go mug and enjoy.
This juice is best enjoyed when it is cold. If any of the fruit or vegetable particles begins to settle, you can simply stir the ingredients and everything should mix together again easily. This is a great way to insure that you are always giving your body the nutrients it needs to stay as healthy as it possibly can. This mixture may also help decrease the hunger pains you experience while you are attempting to diet. It is important to realize that fruits and vegetables contain natural fibres that can help you feel fuller longer. The juice contains many natural fibres and natural sugars to give you wonderful tastes that are actually good for you. Once all of the fruits and vegetables are blended together, you cannot taste each individual flavour anymore. All you will taste is a delicious drink that fills you up quickly. It is a quick and easy juice that can be used as a snack or a quick meal depending on what you are doing throughout the day.
