Juicing!!

Alright, I have been asked by some peeps to post my Juicing recipes I've been diddling around with lately :)  I juice in the morning and at night and I have not had more energy in my LIFE!! My hair and nails grow like wildfire and my skin has never been so clear and bright!

There are many benefits to juicing but I'm too lazy to go over them.  Use your google machine.

Morning Juices!
4 carrots
1 orange
1/2 lemon
2 leaf kale

Morning Juice 2 (energy)
1/2 cucumber
2 sticks celery
2 apples
1/2 lemon
1/4 inch ginger
2-3 leaf kale

Morning Juice 3 (refreshing)
1 grapefruit
1 apple
2-3 carrots
1/4 inch ginger
1/2 lemon

Morning Juice 4 (good for hangovers!)
1 beet
2 apples
1 orange


Night Time Juice!
5 carrots
2 stick celery
1 cup parsley


Now, I also make "energy balls" and I LOVE THEM.  NOTE:  I have a nut allergy!! THESE ARE NUT FREE and NO BAKE!

Now, I have seen recipes like this all over the Internet so I just tweaked them a bit to make them nut free!

1        cup oatmeal (I tossed in the blender to chop it up or you can use coaches oats)
3/4      cup Soy nut butter
1/2     cup honey
1/2     cup ground flax seed
1/4     cup chia seeds
1/2     cup pumpkin seeds (shelled)
1-2     tsp vanilla, coconut flavoring, any flavoring! Shake it up a bit!
(1/4-1/2 total combined)  cup chocolate, butterscotch, white chocolate any kind of chips you want!

Mix everything together, chill for a lil bit and roll them! I put mine into little baggies (2 per bag) so I can just grab n go!

You can substitute peanut butter, any type of nuts, seeds etc. for these.  You just need a sticky base to hold everything together!

Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Makes about 15 balls.
