This delicious and refreshing green juice is a daily drink of mine. It is extremely alkaline and nutritious and makes a great breakfast drink to start the day.
Celery-cucumber-cilantro-lemon Juice
2 heads of celery
1 cucumber, peeled
1 bunch cilantro, leaves and stems
1 lemon
Put celery, cucumber, and cilantro through the juicer (I use Breville Juice Fountain). Run the cilantro through with the celery stalks in order to extract its juice and flavour. After all is juiced, squeeze in 1/2 to a whole lemon, to taste, and stir together.
This juice is high in essential nutrients including the minerals sodium, calcium and silica, which are essential for strong bones and teeth as well as healthy skin and hair. These minerals are not easily found in the raw vegan diet, but are abundant in this green juice. Cilantro leaves are rich in calcium, iron, carotenes, and vitamin C, which it happens are great antioxidants. The lemon combines with the calcium to form calcium citrate, which is easily absorbed by the body. Vitamin D from the sun will complement the nutrients in this juice nicely.
Drink up and enjoy.
