Juice of the Week: Carrot Cake Cooler

Juice of the Week: Carrot Cake Cooler 

Energizing, refreshing, and bursting with nutrients, this delightful drink tastes just like carrot cake- without all the fat or calories. If you miss the icing on the cake, simply add a swirl of creamy vanilla soymilk. 

Boost

Make this recipe a smoothie by adding a frozen banana, 1/2 cup milk, and a scoop of protein powder. 

Benefits

This juice provides an abundance of enzymes and digestive spices, making it a boon for your digestive system. If taken regularly, these spices keep your digestive fire strong and improve nutrient absorption. Beneficial to your throat and lungs, this hearty, nourishing juice can also be lightly heated. 

Soup of the Week: Winter Mushroom Alfredo

Soup of the Week: Winter Mushroom Alfredo

Just say the word “alfredo” and immediately you have a captive audience. Rich, mushroomy, and parmesan cheesy, this luscious tarragon-infused cream soup is a spin on fettuccine alfredo. Everyone loves it, especially men and boys.

Juice of the Week: Sweet Ginger

Juice of the Week: Sweet Ginger

My kids call me the Ginger Queen because I’m likely to put ginger in almost anything. Besides adding spirit and flavor, ginger helps stimulate metabolism and promote weight loss. Ginger also improves circulation and boosts immunity.

Benefits

Warming ginger improves circulation by dilating arteries and helping lower cholesterol. With pineapple and plum, this juice supports your lungs and can help relieve coughs, congestion, and even asthma. Ginger ignites your digestive fire, while enzymes in pineapple help your body absorb nutrients.

Tip

Make sure your pineapple is ripe. If you’re not sure by looking at it, taste it. If it’s more acidic than sweet, it’s not ripe. The acids in unripe pineapple can damage your teeth and burn your mouth.
