Day 9: Juicing

Juicing:
Did you know when "eating" a carrot raw (not cooked) you get 30% of it's nutrients, but when you "juice" that same carrot you get 90% of it's nutrients. Fruit cleanses the body, Veggies feed the body.

Drinking an 8oz glass of juice twice a day is an excellent habit to get into. It makes it a lot easier if you can juice in the morning and prepare 2 small jars for later.
I drink a glass at 11am and other at 3pm. It also keeps me from snacking on junk between meals.

This juice recipe includes kale, one of the most nutrient dense foods per calorie on the planet!
