This is my favorite citrus tonic drink and I make sure to mix it into my daily meal plan because it helped me control my Asthma and breathing problems.
The secret combination of limes and lemons is what makes this juice a Vitamin C booster. It is a is also a great liver detoxifier.
In a condition of insufficient oxygen and breathing problems (mountain climbing, etc.) lemons are very helpful.
I suffered from Asthma and breathing problems and have been able to get rid of it by changing by eating and drinking habits. Drinking this juice is part of my daily juicing ritual.
Vitamin C in lemons for example helps the body to neutralize free radicals that are linked to most types of diseases and aging.
The added health benefits of the ginger and the other ingredients are making this health elixir a vitality bomb!
This Lime Lemon Jalapeno Ginger Gold Elixir is a winner and it contains the following ingredients:
Ingredients:
2 Lemons with Skin and only if organic
1 Lime with skin and only if organic
10 Ribs of Celery (organic if possible)
2 inch of Fresh Ginger (organic if possible)
2 cups of Parsley (organic if possible)
2 Apples (any kind and organic if possible)
1/2 Jalapeno (this is a hot ingredient so be careful)
Alternative to the Jalapeno:
Sprinkle some cayenne pepper on top of your tonic drink when it's finished!
Directions:
For the directions please refer to the chapter where I am talking about my 5 Minute 6 Step Juicing System.
Here is a short instruction that sums up what to do. Make sure to refer back to my 6 step process for juicing so that you get the whole idea of juicing.
In this case peel the ginger and the apples.
Next cut and chop the thoroughly washed veggies and fruits.
Put your ingredients into your favorite juicer or blender or a combination of juicer/blender (Nutribullet) and strictly follow the directions of the manual that comes with your machine.
Your blender manual will tell you what buttons to push and what speed to use.
Juice the softer textures first.
You will see that when you are juicing the crunchier veggies and fruits they will help you push the softer and more delicate fruits and veggies through the blades.
If you are not using a juicer and only have a blender available, make sure to first strain the juice from the lime and lemons.
Once it is finished you can either leave the pulp inside or take it out. This is totally up to your preference.
In this case you have to add the juices back to the blender and proceed from there.
Juice and blend the juice with the rest of your ingredients together as per instructions.
You can always add some raw honey or sweetener depending on your goal with these juices. If the juice is too strong for you, you might also add some ice cubes or source water.
Enjoy this Vitamin C enriched delicious tonic!
