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 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!
