Juicing. I know I know.  It’s such a ‘thing’ to do nowadays but I’ve actually been doing it ever since I was a little kid.  I grew up in a household with a doctor so we were always into our health.  My parents had one of those really loud big juicers that first came onto the market.  After college, I bought my first juicer. Homemade juice is a million times more delicious than what you can get at the store! It’s incredible.  But let’s get to it.

Here I’m going to show you the best most delicious health-benefiting juice you’ll be addicted to for the rest of your juicing days!

Let’s first talk about what’s in it.

  1. Lemon: For vitamin C and reduces your risk of heart disease, anemia, kidney stones, digestive issues, and cancer.
  2. Lime: More vitamin C and helps reduce inflammation
  3. Orange Bell Pepper: Excellent source of vitamin A, C and potassium. Low in calories
  4. Celery: Has a ton of antioxidants, supports digestion, also reduces inflammation, tons of vitamins and minerals, and has an alkalizing effect
  5. GInger Root: My favorite! Aids in digestion, king of antioxidants, boost immune system, anti-flammatory, and stimulates body’s natural detoxification process
  6. Turmeric Root: Everything that ginger root does but it also lowers blood sugar, improves blood circulation and clotting, and also supports metabolism health
  7. Honeycrisp Apple: High in fiber and low in calories.  Make sure to eat the peel because that’s where the healthy cancer fighting stuff is.

I’m so excited to share this recipe with you guys!  I baked them today and I’m so happy how they turned out,  I HAD to write about it.  Let’s just say that I am NOT a baker.  I don’t like measuring every single ingredient and I just don’t have that baker’s touch but I do it anyways because it’s super fun.  Healthy baking is my favorite thing to do when it’s cloudy and cold outside.  There’s something about fall that gets my oven gloves going.  Cozy nights are best when you have a candle lit and the smell of sweet cookies take over the house.  So here it is.  Pure and simple.  You probably already have the ingredients in your pantry, some of you might even make them after you read this. Oh yes, and don’t forget the touch of honey at the end!  It makes the cookie complete. Much love, C.
