My answer: they're both amazing for different reasons.
Juicing is great as it kicks in right away and provides lots of energy. It is very hydrating and gives me what I need to have a great workout in the morning. Juicing extracts the liquid from fruits and veggies and removes the fibrous part. Blending smoothies are also a great option as they help you to feel fuller longer and they require a bit more work for your body to digest. Smoothies are also easier and quicker to make. I am going to share my two favorite morning treats with you:
Goddess Smoothie
1 avocado (peeled and cored)
1 banana
1 cup of strawberries
1 cucumber (peeled)
Fistful of kale
Coconut water (1/2 -1 cup)
Optional: Agave to taste
Blend all ingredients in a blender and drink up! (makes 2 servings)
Anytime Juice
2 carrots
2 celery stalks
Handful of strawberries
Handful of kale
1 orange (peeled)
Place all ingredients through a juicer and enjoy!
Juices and smoothies are a great way to start your day as they start you off with a healthy mindset that snowballs throughout your day. If you have a favorite recipe, be sure to share it in the comments below. I am always looking for new things to try!

ReplyDeleteI have long felt a special connection with Herbal Medicine. For one thing is natural, Charlie we went to the same small college in Southern California — Claremont Men’s College — though he dropped out and ultimately enrolled at the Julliard School of the Performing Arts in New York. Had he stayed at Claremont, he would have been a senior the year I started there; I have often kidded that I was the reason he left when he finds out I had herpes. So my life have been lonely like hell all day I couldn't bear the outbreak pain, Tasha then introduce me to Dr Itua who use his herbal medicine to cure her two weeks of drinking it. I place an order form him and he delivers to my post office then I picked it up and used for two weeks all my sore was healed completely no more outbreak I'm honestly telling you this man is a great man, I trust him and his herbal medicine so much I'm sharing this to show my appreciation also to let sick people know there is hope with Dr Itua Herbal Made Medicine.Dr Itua Contact Email.drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com,Whatsapp.+2348149277967
