Green Orange Breakfast Power Cocktail
The ingredients of this powerful juice are all very beneficial for the body and brain.
Spinach is one of the most nutrient dense packed foods you can provide your body with. It proves you with energy. Spinach helps you fill your stomach without adding a lot of calories and you feel satisfied and full.
Spinach contains phytonutrients that are working as antioxidants battling against the free radical damage.
By consuming spinach you are helping to nourish your body on a cellular level.
Spinach is a great ingredients for weight loss juices.
Spinach is also an alkaline powerhouse. Baby spinach is great, too. Since there are so many other alkalizing vegetables out there, I recommend trying out different variations and concoct a juice that will send your pH levels to the sky.
This is also the reason why I love combining spinach and kale or baby spinach with spinach and kale.
The health benefits of celery are very powerful, too. In addition to being an alkaline food, celery is very low in calories and it is a great weight loss ingredient for juicing if weight loss is on your mind.
Celery is a great combination as a third ingredient because it brings even more health benefits to the table.
I always love to add celery into fruit based juices as well because it adds a bit of spiciness without overshadowing the sweet flavors of the fruits.
Experimenting with and knowing the benefits of all these ingredients is key to a successful juicing experience.
Parsley is the third green raw ingredient that powers up this juice drink to the next level. Parsley also helps keep your body alkaline. This green herb is not only powering up your juice with lots of health nutrients, but it helps bring out the freshest taste ever. It freshens up the taste of your juice because it adds more vitamins and minerals to your juice.
The great thing is that you can grow your own parsley pretty easily at home and always have it ready to freshen up your juices, smoothies and other recipes that you are making.
I only grow my own parsley and include it in most of my juicing drinks.
The fourth green ingredient of this power packed juice is the cucumber. The cucumber is a heavy hitter. I always keep a good stock of cucumbers at home. Cucumbers are alkaline, and they do contain so much water that it is a very hydrating vegetable.
As you can see this juicing drink is a loaded with powerful greens that you can mix up and find lots of variations that might work for you. I just add some zesty ginger, orange and lemon to this power cocktail which makes the bitter taste of the celery sweeter and perfect for a healthy morning and breakfast juice with a zest.

Juice the softer fruits/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 lemon and orange.
Once it is finished you can either leave the pulp inside or take it out. This is totally up to your preference.
