A Great Alkalizing Drink
Here is a great recipe for a refreshing cleansing and alkalizing juice that you can drink first thing in the morning, between meals, and/or before bed.
For One Quart of Juice:
- 1 fresh organic lemon
- 1 fresh organic lime
- 1/4 cup "Just Cranberry" Juice ("Just Cranberry" has no sweeteners or any other juice added)
- 1/4 cup organic whole leaf Aloe Vera Juice
- Good quality drinking water (filtered or Kangen)
- Stevia (liquid or powder; a natural sweetener from the South American plant Stevia rebaudiana)
Variations:
- Lemonade: lemon juice, water and stevia
- Limeade: lime juice, water and stevia
- Cranberryade: Just Cranberry juice, water and stevia
- Cranberry Lemonade: lemon juice, Just Cranberry juice, water and stevia
- Cranberry Limeade: lime juice, Just Cranberry juice, water and stevia
- Same thing with Aloe Vera Juice... experiment and explore your taste buds!
Visit your local health food store for the proper ingredients. Stevia is sold as a supplement. Stevia is not an artificial sweetener nor is it a sugar. Stevia is a natural plant and a protein. It comes in liquid drops, white powder, and whole leaf green powder (Stevia rebaudiana). If you've never tried stevia before, use it sparingly at first because it is super concentrated; a little goes a long way! For powdered Stevia, buy only "pure" stevia with nothing added or with only inulin added.
