Healthy and Tasty Smoothie and Juice Recipes

Remember how I said I was on a juicing kick? I still am. Everyday I find myself starting my morning with a smoothie, before lunch I drink grapefruit juice and then as a mid afternoon snack I sip on a veggie juice. I always read that grapefruit speeds up metabolisms so I’ve been trying to fit it in lately whenever I can. But I really am loving the smoothie and veggie recipes that I have been making so I just wanted to share the recipes with you.

Now What?

Blend until you get the consistency that you want.

This veggie juice is great. It’s kind of like a boost of energy in a glass. All I do is juice the following: 1 large cucumber, 3 large stalks of celery, 1 big handful of spinach and 2 apples.
