A juice fast can be done in conjunction with eating only live, raw foods for greater health and body healing.

2 Organic Red Delicious or other apple
2 Organic beets (small to medium)
2 Tbl Ginger root
1 Garlic clove (large)
1 Organic lime (small)
Wash all fruits/veggies. Peel the garlic clove and the ginger root. Note: If you’re on blood pressure medication or you have difficulty ingesting spicy foods, you can omit the ginger and garlic or use half of the above. Chop up the vegetables and apples small enough to run them through your juicer. This should make enough juice for 2 servings. You can always add more to give greater serving amount.
