Summertime Refreshing & Cleansing Green Juice

What a wonderful day! I am getting ready for a 7 day liver and gallbladder flush. I  haven't done one in a few years now, so this should be really good!! Maybe a I'll get a record 2000 stones out. I find that it is easier and healthier for your body if you eat as alkaline and raw as possible or juice at least 1 week prior to your flush. For more information on eating an alkaline diet, recipes and articles visit my website Alive N' Juicy.

Here is a tasty, easy juice that refreshes you, alkalizes you and flushes the kidneys, all at the same time. It various versions have become my daily summer juice for 2010. It goes like this...makes 1, 14 ounce serving.

4 stalks celery
1/2 large cucumber, sliced lengthwise
1/2 grapefruit peeled ( leave on as much of the white membrane as possible )
1 hand full parsley ( 8 - 10 sprigs )
2 kale leaves
1-2 cups watermelon diced
watermelon rinds sliced ( from the 1-2 cups )
slice of fresh ginger ( optional )

Juice the celery, cucumber, watermelon rinds and parsley. In a blender blend into juice the diced watermelon and grapefruit halve. Combine the two, stir and enjoy immediately!
If you do not have a juicer but have either a Vita Mix or a K-Tech blender, you can just blend the entire recipe and strain or use one of Elaina's nut milk bags if you want a thinner juice. Enjoy the juice and the summer. A toast to alkalizing for HEALTH, Cheers!

Many Blessings,
