Gradually load your blender with each ingredient and add water.

If using a blender, place blender onto your base and pulse or use whole fruit setting until fully blended.

Drink as is after blending or

use a nut/ milk bag to remove the pulp.

If using a nut/ milk bag, pour contents of juice in bag.

Carefully lift bag and gently squeeze contents with hand until you’ve squeezed out desired juice amount.

Once juice is squeezed you will be left with
this beautiful color and delicious juice.The lime and lemon gave it a lemonade type of flavor
which was very refreshing.

Purple cabbage can be juiced, cooked, and even used on the skin for natural home remedies.

Let me share with you a some remedies.

Acne

Cabbage juice is great for intestinal cleansing, it also contains vitamin C. These will detox your body thereby curing acne.

Cabbage juice helps to keep your skin hydrated. Add honey to 30ml cabbage juice. Apply on face and leave it for 5 min. Wash off after 5min. This remedy will help in wrinkle reduction.

Fair skin

Mix 4tsp cabbage juice with a pinch of yeast and honey. Apply all over your face and neck. Keep it for 15minutes and then wash-off with warm water to get fairer skin.

Headache

Drink 20-25ml of cabbage juice to cure headache. It acts as disinfectant as it has lactic acid in it.

Have a blessed and juicy day!

Sweet Bulb

 It’s tall, green and has a white bulb.

It’s smells like black licorice, but taste oh so sweet!

Oh yes, I am talking about this beautiful veggie, the Fennel Bulb. This vegetable adds a deliciously sweet taste to todays juice.

Here are 7 great benefits of adding more Fennel bulb to your diet.

It is packed with Vitamin C,

which helps boost your immune system.

Good source of Fiber, Folic Acid, and Potassium.

Best antioxidant and anti-inflammatory food.

Prevents formation of gas in the intestinal tract.

 

Fennel bulb is said to treat:

Bloating

Indigestion

Irritable bowel syndrome

low milk production in nursing mothers

Bad breath

Chronic coughs

Sinus congestion

Flatulence

Hypertension

Day Seventeen: Sweet Bulb

2 fennel bulbs

2 pears

2 cups water

Wash all ingredients thoroughly.

Cut bottom of fennel bulb and fennel bulb stalks, like so.

We will only be using the bulb (middle).

Gradually load your blender with each ingredient. Add water.

If using a blender, place blender onto your base and pulse or use whole fruit setting until fully blended.

Wala! Here we have our Sweet Bulb juice.

I must admit this was my first time using the Fennel Bulb as an ingredient.

At first I was a little resistant to use this veggie because of the strong black licorice smell. I told my self “Self, make the juice, give it a little taste and if you don’t like it, well let it be the last time you use it.”

I am so glad I listened to my self and juiced with this ingredient! Once blended and strained, I gave it a try and my taste buds went wild because of the sweet taste it offered.

Tomorrow I will be making apple and fennel bulb puree for my little guy! Hope he enjoys this veggie as much as I do.

Have a blessed and juicy day!
