The more bitter the juice, the harder it to drink. That's why this detoxifying dandelion green juice that is essential for better digestion is loaded with dark cherries, nectarines, and romaine leaves. A combination that you'd never pair together that is is full of flavor!

I don't know many who jump up out of bed and crave a green juice, unless...UNLESS someone has introduced them into the Green Juice world. And once you are introduced at first, you don't think you could actually drink green juices. Forget one...you can't even fathom that being your breakfast every day. And you think, nope "that's not my thing". Or maybe you will think "I'm a foodie, and therefore I eat my calories" or maybe you think green juices are utterly disgusting like I once did. But once your "in", you will never want to leave! You will think to yourself, "How did I not drink these all my life, and look at what I have been missing out on!"

Dandelion is not just a weed or a flower you see in your backyard. It's actually considered a detox green and that means this green helps to support the liver. Dandelion is also an alkaline green keeping the body-centered. Essential for digestion as it is bitter, and bitters aid in healing digestion issues. You'd be surprised a green could do so much which is why it is so important that you rotate your greens. Let your body get a wide variety of all mother nature has to offer in the produce department. Each fruit, vegetable, and leafy green you eat or juice has different nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, and our bodies need them all.

Why Dandelion in the form of juice?

When you are doing a detox with a doctor it is important to add detox greens
When you are healing candida, or sibo getting in your green juice becomes essential
Green juices help to support your body with fast nutrients
Dandelion revitalizes you
Dandelion alone and raw, eaten is very bitter and almost hard to eat, juicing it creates a more tolerable flavor
Aids in healing your intestinal tract

When was the last time you woke up and said "hmmm? I'm hungry, I'll just snack on ahead of dandelion every single day said no one ever".

Notes

It is best to drink your juice immediately because the veggies start to decompose. If you can't drink it immediately try and drink it as soon as you can rather than waiting hours.
It is best to make your drink the day you plan to drink it. I do not suggest making a juice the night before because the veggies will decompose
Strive for organic whenever possible.
You can buy a cheap nutbag on Amazon. I have the cotton mesh one. I never leave home without it.

Love and Dandelion Juice!
