A delicious greens-based juice with citrus.

You’re all familiar with the Stripped Green Smoothie by now, and if you’re not, what are you waiting for? I share all things green smoothies and why I adore the signature smoothie of Nutrition Stripped. Today I want to focus on drinking something else that’s green, the Stripped Green Juice! Oh yes, get ready for another veggie filled elixir to try out. In my previous post, we discussed all things Juicing 101 so I thought it was perfect timing to introduce you to something else I eat/drink on a weekly basis.

I get it, drinking something green isn’t necessarily the “norm” in our society, but drinking your greens whether in a smoothie or juice has been the buzz for quite some time, especially around New Years, for good reason. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are nutrient dense in comparison to any breakfast cereal out there, which is a Standard American Diet (SAD) meal in the morning; and they’re loaded with fiber (again something that’s lacking in our SAD diets).

What Is The Stripped Green Juice?

In this green juice, you’ll find some pretty amazing ingredients all are delicious, nourishing, and supportive in helping your body’s natural and ongoing detoxification. Think of juices as being a powerhouse of nutrition in a very small volume. Essentially you’re taking all of the nutrients found in fresh fruits and vegetables and reducing it down to pure liquid.

Let’s take the ingredients in this juice, for example, there are about 15-17 servings of fruits and vegetables reduced to several cups of juice! Of course this is not the same as eating these fruits and vegetables because it’s lacking the fiber, but nonetheless, the nutrients are there.

Stripped Green Juice is a variation on my Stripped Green Smoothie, it incorporates many of the same ingredients I use in the smoothie just in juice form. I also add in some of my favorite flavors and boosts of nutrients in some fruits that I don’t always use in my smoothie recipe.

 

I want to hear from you! What are some juice recipes that you would like to hear from me on Nutrition Stripped? Ones for certain topics (i.e. energy, skin health, weight loss, etc.). Post below in the comment section so I can get to recipe makin’

Print

Ingredients:

1 bunch of organic kale

1 head of organic romaine lettuce

1 bunch of organic celery

2 large organic cucumbers

1 large fuji apple (use green apple for lower sugar variety)

1/2 cup pineapple

handful of parsley

handful of cilantro

1 teaspoon of fresh ginger root, optional

juice from 1-2 lemons, to taste

stevia to taste (optional)

Directions:

  1. USING JUICER //
  2. Add all ingredients into you juice machine one at a time.
  3. If the pulp is still wet after juicing, throw in the pulp into the juicer and run through again until the vegetable/fruit pulp is dry.
  4. Drink juice immediately or store in an air tight mason jar in the fridge for 24-48hrs. maximum.
  5. USING BLENDER //
  6. Combine all ingredients into the blender with 1 cup of filtered water.
  7. Blend until everything is combined.
  8. Line a large pitcher with a nut milk bag or cheese cloth.
  9. Pour the blended mixture into the lined pitcher (into the nut milk bag).
  10. The liquid that is poured into the pitcher will be your “juice”
  11. The pulp will stay in the nut milk bag or cheesecloth- you will need to manually squeeze the nut milk bag until the pulp has released all of it’s juice.
  12. Repeat this step until the pulp is very dry and you have a large quantity of juice left in the pitcher.
