Looking for an alternative to juicing? Well not really an alternative because juicers perform very specific jobs, but here is another option for getting some good nutrients. Nothing like a cool drink of water, right?
I like to infuse my water with fruits and veggies from time to time when I feel like I need a real thirst quencher. I normally use cucumbers, but since I didn't have any - this was my combination today.
This combination is safe for Candida Dieters once they have passed the first 3 weeks of absolutely NO FRUIT! (Green apples and berries are allowed after 3 weeks.)
Ingredients:
- 2 celery sticks
- 1/2 green apple
- 1/4 cup blue berries
- juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cups filtered water
- a couple of ice cubes, or you can place into fridge to cool
Directions:
- Place all ingredients into a Vita-mix or high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
- Filter the pulp using a strainer or a nut milk bag
(what I like best).
That's it. Simple as can be. So when you make your "infused" water, post your comments below and let others know of what combinations you create.Note: You can always use the left-over pulp in your cooking, perhaps when making pancakes or muffins for instance.
Blend your favorite fruits and vegetables together with water and strain. Below is a good combination to try.
