Highlights & Tips
This is the first juice recipe I ever made over 10 years ago and it still remains one of my favorites today! When I first started juicing I was on a quest for better health and the only thing I consumed was this juice for 30 days straight. I loss my extra weight, reduced my cholesterol to normal levels, was no longer pre diabetic and never felt so amazing!
​
Make this juice if you need to cleanse, to get back on track with your health or to maintain your health.
​
Make sure you wash all your fruit and vegetables before juicing!

Recipe Supplies
The best way to make juice quickly is to have your fruits and veggies washed and ready to go in stored containers in your refrigerators.
Use some easy to use and clean chopping boards to chop up your fruits and vegetables
Purchase your own juicer for home to quickly whip up a fresh glass of juice. There are so many juicers on the market but you can start with a simple one that is inexpensive to see if juicing is for you
Presentation
The easiest way to prepare your drink is to blend your protein drink in a blend bottle. This type of bottle mixes the protein, additional health supplement powders for a silky smooth workout drink!
Budget Tips
If you want to save a little money make your own juice. If you buy your produce in bulk and clean and prep things yourself you will save a little money. I purchase some of my vegetables at a club like Costco or a local farmers market. I'm blessed to live near a weekly farmers market and know several vendors who give me a deal on fresh veggies if I buy bulk and buy often! If a farmers market is not available try asking your local grocery manager if they can get a bigger pack size of fresh fruit and vegetables. You would be surprised what you might find!
​
Purchase the Moon Juice and Milk Thistle online it will typically save you money than purchasing in a health store or grocery market.
Storage Recommendations
​
Storage is VERY important when holding on to your juice! First it's important to know if using a centrifugal juicer your fresh juice will only be good for 24 hours if sealed in a tight jar or bottle in the refrigerator. If using a masticating or cold press juicer you can hold onto your juice for 3-4 days in a refrigerator.
​
Its best to drink your fresh juice right away but if you can't place it in a tight sealed jar or bottle with little air. The sooner you drink your fresh juice the more antioxidants, vitamins and minerals you will consume!
What to do with left over's or extra product?
Use your extra kale to bake off kale chips. You can make a lovely green salad or make a Buddha bowl with your fresh kale and other yummy vegetables!

RECIPE TIPS
The key to making any juice is to be prepared to make them quickly. That means have your fruits and vegetables washed and ready to grab and extract your juice when you are ready! I always wash my produce then place them in food containers in the refrigerator so I can quickly get them when I need them! If you want more juice/liquid use more cucumber or carrots.
