Here’s a special Lucky Green Juice recipe just in time for St. Patrick's Day. It’s probably not like other juices you’ve tried before (we’ll explain below).

In addition to being delicious and making you feel vibrantly full of luck, it’s also loaded with vitamins and minerals! Here are just a few ingredient highlights:

Fresh Mint – This wonderful herb has both antibacterial and antiseptic properties. It’s great for digestion, the skin, headaches, respiration, and more.

Ginger – This ancient root needs no better introduction than it’s track record of medicinal use for over 2,000 years. It’s loaded with antioxidants and is particularly beneficial for regulating blood sugar, stimulating digestion andrelieving pain with its anti-inflammatory properties.

Lemon – Also great for digestion, lemons are wonderfully alkalizing—helping balance the body’s pH level.

Avocado – “God’s butter”, as the Young’s like to say, is loaded with beneficial fatty acids (monounsaturated) and vitamins. You may be wondering how avocado can be juiced. Again, we’ll explain below.

LUCKY GREEN JUICE RECIPE

2 large handfuls of spinach
6-10 leaves of fresh mint
1 piece fresh ginger (start small–about 1/3 of your thumb)
1 lemon (peeled)
1 romaine heart
1 large cucumber
3 stalks celery
½ avocado

INSTRUCTIONS
- Use a juicer to juice all ingredients EXCEPT the avocado
- Add juice to a blender, add avocado, blend until silky smooth
- Chill after blending and enjoy!

NOTES
If you don’t have fresh mint, you can dip a toothpick into an organic peppermint essential oil (like Color Earth’s Organic Peppermint Essential Oil) and stir the toothpick in your juice. This will help you avoid overpowering your juice with too much peppermint. If your juice is too spicy from the ginger, add more cucumber juice. If you need to boost the sweetness, try to stick with low-sugar fruits like grapefruit or carrots before jumping to apples with double the sugar.

We hope you enjoy this silky-smooth Lucky Green Juice.

We wish you all of the luck and health in the world.


To your health!
