Green Juice Blast Recipe Spice Up Your Day The Green Way!
This is the famous lemon-ginger, green juice blast made popular by Lou Corona, a holistic health educator and juicing guru.
It is a great one for, like the name implies, "blasting" the tissues with green nutrition. Ken and I juiced our first "juice blast" just a few days ago....WOW!!
Let me tell you, this is super juicing that goes right to the senses and knocks everything out in its path. (ie: congestion, mucus) When it comes to juice cleansing, this super juice is top notch among juicing recipes.
The thing I also love about it is that you can taste all the flavorful greens, sometimes a hint of arugula, an aftertaste of cilantro or the freshness of parsley. The lemon gives an added cleansing effect and the apple provides a nice sweetness to round it all out.
You would never guess it from the color of this juicing drink, but it is VERY spicy. The two hot spices in this fresh juice help to "deliver the goods" to all cells in the body and at rapid speed. This obviously will help to warm things up, in addition to giving the term "breath of fire" new meaning.
For me, the coolness of the greens, cuke and apple all help to balance this juice nicely, so it doesn't cause upset from too much spice. It depends on the person though, if you are sensitive, take heed.
As I mentioned, this incredibly cleansing and detoxifying juice is one inspired by Lou Corona, who at 20 years of age, suffered intense health issues including asthma and a large tumor growth. He is now 59 and lives a vibrant, happy life teaching and spreading his diet and lifestyle message, "The Four Principles of Life".

Green Juice Blast Recipe
Juice the following:
1 bunch argula
1 bunch cilantro
1 bunch parsely
1 cucumber
1-3 inches ginger root
3 habeneros
2 apple
1 peeled lemon
It is best to drink your juice immediately, but you can also seal it tight in a mason jar to preserve it for a few hours in fridge if you can't drink it right away.
You can either juice this recipe in a juicer like the Green Star or you can see our page on juicing with a Blendtec blender.
You may at some point want to add in some wild edible greens, when you have them available. Wild watercress makes a great addition to this recipe to help detoxify the body. Also, miners lettuce can be used as a replacement for some of the greens, and it will relax and cool the body.
This recipe makes approximately 2 quarts of juice, so you will need to find a friend to share it with! Happy juice blasting!!
