Green Anti-Inflammatory Cold Press Juice

Even though it’s winter, I am craving the greens hard. I have a green smoothie almost daily, but today I made an anti-inflammatory green juice. This is an easy way to get in those chlorophyll rich alkaline vegetables without the body having to digest them. Many of my 12 week nutrition clients have weak digestive fire and they are exhausted. If we are consistently in fight or flight instead of rest and digest then we are nerves are going to be shot and we will feel so depleted. The last function the body is going to focus on is your digestion because it’s sending blood to the extremities to get away from a cougar. A green juice with almost all vegetables is a nourishing way to get vitamins and nutrients. You can even skip that morning coffee and opt for green juice. If you’re always good, drink it room temperature versus ice cold. Listen your body!

I use an omega cold press juicer to keep all those amazing nutrients in my juice.

ginger and turmeric root: anti-inflammatory properties, liver supporting, digestion aid
greens: iron, fibre, chlorophyll which is a blood builder and detoxifier, calcium, vitamin k lemon: taste and vitamin c which helps absorb iron
celery: potassium, sodium, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory
cucumber: easy way to increase juice content as lots of water, phytonutrients, reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, vitamin k
parsley: anti-parasitic, vitamin a, k, c , folate, iron, chemo-protective, flavonoids, heart health, joint health
mint: love the taste, soothes stomach, anti-microbial

I intentionally do mixed green juices versus all celery!
