Recipe Prep

Here are some of the juicing recipes I will be prepping for Monday!

When shopping for juicing produce I always try to get organic when possible. It not only tastes better but when you juice the last thing you want floating around in all the micronutrients is pesticide residue! If I can't find organic then I peel and wash the veggies well. I also look for fruit and veg that are nice and ripe. If only unripe produce is available, I have a spot in my kitchen specifically for a ripening station.

Ready to Juice? Me too! These are the basic recipes I'm going to be using beginning Monday. In addition to these I will be juicing mono (glasses of only 1 type fruit/veg).
