Oprah's Dr. Oz has another convert to green juice:
But my dirty secret is that I just don't love vegetable juice.
Dr. Oz has changed all that, bless him.
I'm not really an Oprah fan, although I do think she has used her celebrity for some great things to help others, but I saw Dr. Oz on her show one day talking about the green drink he has every morning.
Of course, when I saw the ingredients, I had this intellectual reaction: Gross. But when Oprah tasted it, she deemed the flavor, "fresh." I decided to try it.
I'm in love. Plus drinking it in a wine glass gives it a whole new edge.
This is my modified Green Drink.
1 handful of fresh spinach
2 celery stalks
1/2 green apple, peeled & cored
1/2 cucumber, peeled
1/4 tsp minced ginger (I buy the jar)
juice of 1/2 lemon
juice of 1/2 lime
fresh parsley (I like a lot)
crushed ice
1/4 c water
Blend until liquified.
The key for me is the crushed ice and water that make it cold - more palatable - & slushy. And seriously, the taste really is fresh.
But as I drink it, I bring in the big gun(s): visualization. I visualize the chlorophyll moving oxygen around in my body. (Chlorophyll helps improve the efficiency of oxygen transport.) And I think about all the enzymes marching around inside, defending my cells. (Enzymes play essential roles in protecting cells from damage - take THAT, potential cancer - but they are destroyed by heat; i.e., cooking vegetables.)
