Starting your Morning by Juicing Citrus Fruits, is a great time to ‘Break your Fast’. Citrus Juice is not only refreshing, but also a great Energy Booster.
Juice some Organic Fruits like Grapefruit, Oranges, Limes & Lemons. Grate in a little Ginger, Turmeric and add Bee Pollen for your Vitamin ‘Beeees’ (including B12 for Vegetarians)
Add 1/2 Juice and 1/2 Water so it’s not too sweet and your Insulin Level doesn’t spike.
And what to do with the Citrus Pulp and the Shells? Don’t compost them just yet….Put the Pulp back into the Blender with your Greens when making your Smoothies.
Use the Citrus Shells to rub your Elbows, Knees & Heels when you are in the Shower. You’ll be surprised how smooth they will feel afterwards. I rub my face with the shells as well – Vitamin C is the best for Wrinkles!!!
