There are a lot great benefits in drinking “raw drinks” and one of my particular favorites is Natalia Rose’s GreenLlemonade because of it’s amazing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
I was first introduced to Green Lemonade by a friend who suggested Natalia Rose’s Raw Food Detox Diet book when I took my first steps to a healthier lifestyle. At first the taste took some get used to but eventually this powerful drink played a major part in my raw food regimen and I was amazed at the immediate results. It gave my body an engery boost, cut cravings, reduced any fever symptoms! It kept me focused and full of energy throughout the day.
I encourage you to try this drink and see if you do not feel simply amazing! Truth be told, it is not the prettiest drink (looks like grass) but the flavors are amazing- the apples and the lemon gives it a wonderful sweetness and zing! Of course you can sweeten it subtly but adding a touch of agave nectar or more fruit. A little secret…whenever you are working with greens, just remember to add a sweet fruit with it, like an apple- delicious!
Accordingly to the author, “Juices are best taken on an empty stomach so they can bypass the digestive process and go right to the cellular level with all their life force and enzymatic superpowers!” I totally agree and echo this all the time to my clients.
What are you waiting for? Drink to a better you.
