JUICES:

ROOT REFRESHER
5 lbs carrots
3 large red beets
1 bunch fresh parsley
few slices of fresh ginger

Extract in a juicer, strain, and drink up!
This juice is a healthy tonic for the liver
and digestive tract.

CARROT-GINGER JUICE
5 lbs carrots
1 bunch celery
Handful fresh parsley
1 apple
2" fresh ginger

Extract in a juicer, strain, and enjoy!

WILD POWER JUICE
Generous handful of stinging nettles
Generous handful of grass (young barley or wheat)
Handful lambs quarters
several stems fresh mint
3 large celery ribs
3 small apples
1 lemon

Extract in a Green Star juicer and drink immediately! Because of the richness of the greens, we consumed only about 2-3oz., not knowing what affect, if any, this powerful juice would have on us. Suffice to say, we liked this juice so much that we plan to incorporate wild edibles into our regular juicing routine. This recipe makes approximately 12oz. of juice. What we did not drink immediately, we stored in a tightly covered 8oz jar and refigerated, so that we could drink it the next day. Note: When picking Stinging Nettles, use heavy gloves as the leaves have prickers that can be irritating or painful when touched. While cutting and washing, I used tongs to hold the stems. When juiced, the nettle prickers are eliminated. Nettles are
best harvested before they are two feet tall. They can also be dried and eaten or used as a tea or in smoothies and raw soups.

VEGETABLE DRINKS:

2 tbsp. hemp protein powder (optional)

herbs to taste (basil, oregano, sage)

Cut tomatoes, celery and place in blender. Chop remaining ingredients, add water, and blend until smooth to desired consistency.
