A box full of fresh, crispy and organic produce landed on my doorstep today.  What a nice surprise! I’v been lacking a little lately with making my own juices, so i think it’s time to get some healthy homemade juice back into my system – thanks to all these delicious greens. 

But first: let’s do a Red Velvet Smoothie. I used 1 small raw beet, 1/2 avocado, 1/2 cup frozen raspberries, 1 tbs raw cacao, 1/2 tbsp vanilla and a little more than 1 cup almond milk. Blend it and add more cacao and vanilla if you like. The rest of the beets are being shredded into a detox sallad together with the kale. 

Feel like some it’s-good-for-you-carrot-juice? This one is from my book Hälsokick.  For one small bottleI: 5 farm carrots, 1 large apple and 2 cm fresh ginger, all from Melissa’s farm box. Run it thru the juicer and enjoy it cold. 

Today’s greenie: 1 big leaf of curly kale, 1 broccoli flower ( not the whole head, only 1 flower ), 1 apple, 1 large cucumber, 1/2 lemon, a pinch of celtic sea salt and 2 tsp apple cider vinegar (or as much as you can bare). Cheers and drink up! 

Thank you Melissa’s for the delicious “Green Juice Box”.  One great thing with Melissa’s is that they offer free delivery from San Diego up to Santa Barbara. And for 25 bucks you get about 7-10 of organic fruits and veggies. Nothing tastes better than eating local. Cheers!
