Multi-Vitamin Juice
This is my go to juice. When in doubt... Throw it all in! The taste is delicious and the combination of fruits, green vegetables, beets, citrus and ginger is a solid combination of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. I usually have this (or a variation) with guacamole for lunch almost every day. I'm all about healthy fats and antioxidants. Mega beauty food, and this drink totally has it.
The best thing you can do for yourself is get hooked on juice. Once you start juicing it is really hard to imagine a day without.
Plus, I'm really partial to the color of beet juice. It makes me happy!
Makes approximately 30 ounces
Serves 2
1 Large Head of Kale
1 Large Head of Celery
1 Large Head of Parsley
1 Red Beet, peeled
1 Apple (optional, if you are trying for lower sugar)
1 Lemon (don't remove all the skin!)
2 Limes (Don't remove any skin)
2 Inch Chunk of Ginger
1 Inch Chunk of Fresh Turmeric (optional)
Run all ingredients through the juicer and Serve.
Side note *I prefer to serve juice in interesting containers or wine glasses. It enhances the experience.

so pretty! do you juice every day? I usually just do it once a week to use up fruits that are shriveled, stems and bits that didnt get used, etc.

sarah, it would be ideal if you could juice/green drink everyday for sure. but i know it's not always easy {making the mess, having the \"fresh\" ingredients on hand, taking the time, etc.} but if those things aren't too much for you, why not!??? there is so much to benefit from it.

Can you really put a whole lime in a juicer (skin on)? I have always wanted to but did not know if it was safe for the juicer. I have the Breville juicer from Williams-Sonoma.
Juli Novotny
Emily Yeah you can put a whole lime in. I always shave off a bit of the skin though. I personally feel its takes a bit bitter. But your juicer should be able to handle it.

hanks! I am a huge an of juicing. In the past, I would just add citrus zest, but thanks for the tip of putting the whole lime in.
You have a really great blog- I am Acupuncturist; and usually fairly motivated to stay healthy because I discuss the importance of nutrition and fitness with patients on a nearly daily basis. However, I have been in a funk for the past two months. Your blog has been a major motivating factor to get me back on track. I dusted off the juicer and now my husband and I have been juicing a few times every day as well as following a super clean food plan. I am also going to start doing yoga again, today.
So thanks! Big time.
