Being so actively involved in nutrition, I am still amazed that I forget how my body thanks me when I fuel it properly.
Like everyone else, the convenience of unhealthier foods can overpower the “work” of putting together a healthier meal.
The wonders good, whole food can do for your body, mind, and spirit is simply amazing. When I put good fuel in my body, it performs better. I have more energy throughout the day, my workouts are much easier, and my mood is lifted.
Green juices and smoothies have been my go-to lately to ensure I’m giving my body lots greeny nutrients 🙂
This juice is sweet but it definitely has a kick because of the ginger. It makes about 32 ounces, enough for two or to enjoy more than once.
