I've been making this green juice for the past few months, and have seen such great benefits from starting with a green juice in the morning instead of a decaf coffee.  I feel alive and full of energy, and it feels great!  That's why green juices are my favorite way to wake up.  It feels good to drink something that tastes delicious while giving my body a burst of nutrients.

Basic green juices call for spinach or kale, usually with lemon, ginger, or apple.  And while those are absolutely amazing, I chose to use unusual veggies and fruits for this combination.  Vegetables such as Jicama which is often left on crudites platters and bitter grapefruit which is often eaten plain for breakfast as a side dish.

Both Jicama and Grapefruit are underrated and underused.  Together they infuse a delightfully refreshing harmony.

Often I am asked why I choose these ingredients over the usual standard green juice ingredients.  I get this question all the time.

WHY CHOOSE JICAMA AND GRAPEFRUIT FOR THIS JUICE

  • Nutrition
  • Rotation

Our bodies need a constant rotation of the foods we consume otherwise food sensitivities, and gut/stomach issues can arise. And it's not just about food sensitivities, but also about your body's needs for all different kinds of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals.  These nutrients, vitamins, and minerals are found in various veggies, and fruits so rotation is NECESSARY.

Equipment

  • high-speed blender
  • nut-milk bag or cheese cloth

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups jicama raw, peeled.
  • 4 romaine leaves large
  • ½ red grapefruit peeled
  • 2 cups water spring
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  • Blast all the ingredients together in a high-speed blender until well blended.  Set aside.

Notes

  • The longer you keep the fresh juice in the fridge the faster the nutrients die.  You’ll want to drink your juice as close to the date you made it.  It tastes better fresh.
