Let's Get Glowing

I recently dusted off my Raw Foods, Real World book to get on a sort of juicing kick. It seems like at any given moment, someone on my blog reader or twitter is on a cleanse or juicing fast of some sort. I started out with the spicy skin saver since I sort of burned my skin a bit on my 4th of July trip. The author of the raw foods book says that drinking green drinks is an acquired taste.

We have got green grapes, radishes, watercress, cucumber and ginger.
All things that are supposed to build collagen and improve skin's elasticity,
protect against free radical damage and hydrate.

I halved the recipe. And I should mention that I don't have a juicer, 
but since there were so many grapes, the blender worked just fine.

Verdict: decent. It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either. 
And are these green drinks ever really good tasting 
without loading them up with sugar? 
Next up, Thai Green!

I'm adding this book to my queue! Thanks for the recommendation, I could always use more glow in the pre-wedding months!

You are a braver woman than I am. I think juice is a lot easier to choke down than green smoothies. But you know I'm all about getting those raw green things in! Good luck. :-)

I've never tried to make them on my own so no clue. I do like the Green Monster Superfood drink but I'm betting there's lot sugar in that huh?

I'm impressed girl!! That's a positive sign that it's decent-tasting though - I hardly ever see green juices that taste ok!
