Back to Juicing

Looks like Going Crunchy may be a solo project.  The Mexican is not feeling it at all!  I think hubby may be a tad "celoso" of my obsession with Dan the Man aka The Life Regenerator.  I can't help it!  Dan the Man is crazy, honest, inspirational and entertaining as hell.  I love watching his videos because he talks about overall health.....  physical, mental, emotional, spiritual.  He talks about his journey on becoming a better person and lets us viewers into his life!  Kind of like an ongoing novela.  You know I love my novelas!
Ok, so I want to share Lou Corona's Lemon Ginger Blast recipe that I learned about through watching Dan the Man.
*side note*  Dan likes to talk.  So, if you don't want to watch the video, the recipe is below.
*additional side note*  After watching this video you may think...."This chic is CaRaaaaaZY!" and maybe I am......no shame in my game.

Lemon Ginger Blast (with my tweaks in parenthesis)
(always scrub and wash fruit and veggies 1st!)

2 Apples 
1- 3inch piece of Ginger  
1 Lemon peeled (I used one and half.  I love lemon!)
1 bunch of Cilantro
1 bunch of Parsely
1 bunch of Arugula (I substituted Spinach due to no Arugula in home)
3 Habaneros (ay, ya, ya!  I used 1/2 of a jalepeño)
1 Cucumber


*note* this makes a lot of juice!  I halved this recipe but kept the 2 apples and used a little more lemon and it was enough for hubby and I.

According to Dan and Lou, a Lemon Ginger Blast juice has all of these health benefits:

anti-viral

anti-bacterial

anti-fungal

anti-mucus

anti-parasitic

enhances circulation

stimulates digestion

neutralizes free radicals

oxygenating

detoxifying

energizing

anti-aging

This juice was amazing!  I immediately felt energized!  Hubby didn't drink his glass. Can we say stubborn? Our son drank about 1/4 of a glass and said it was good!  Yay!  At least someone is willing to try my juice.

I rarely make New Years resolutions.  Mainly due to I never follow through.  I am however setting a goal to juice at least once a day.  Now that the holidays are behind us and all of the tempting sweets and family get togethers are over, I feel it is a goal I am able to keep.

Luckily, a fellow blogger amiga is juicing as well!  BiCultural Mom has embarked on a 365 day life challenge. You can read about her journey here.   I was so happy to read she will be juicing.  Now I have more motivation to keep up with my juicing.  If my mexicanito will not join me, I'm happy to have a friend who I can share recipes and stay motivated with.

If anyone out in blogger land has a recipe they would like to share, I'd love to hear about it!

Stay tuned....
