Thanks to my new Jay Kordich juicer and my health Jedi master, Drew Canole at FitLife.TV, I have been juicing fresh veggies and fruits almost daily since the start of 2013. On top of my new clean eating habits and daily exercise, I have found juicing has made a significant improvement in my life lately.
I have more energy; I wake up more refreshed, happier and excited to start the day with a juice!
I have been following the delicious recipes online and from Drew’s best selling book, but I decided to make my own concoction to share with you. In honor of flu season and my travels coming up in a few days, I wanted to boost my immune system with some extra Vitamin C.
Forget flu shots, you can keep yourself healthy by knowing nature’s best kept secrets!
