Vegetable Juices and Smoothies
Course: DrinksDifficulty: EasyINGREDIENTS
Vegetables of your choice
3 tbsp of coconut oil or butter
4 egg yolks
DIRECTIONS
- Take any low-sugar vegetables you have and feed them through a masticating juicer.
- Once juiced, you can filter extra fibre out with a cheesecloth as you wish; the leftover pulp can be boiled to make vegetable stock.
- Healthy Smoothie
- Take at least 100 ml of juice, 3 tbsp of coconut oil or butter, or a combination of both, and 4 egg yolks; you can also include the whites as well, but the yolks are essential.
- Blend in a blender and enjoy a thick, healthy shake.
- The fat in the smoothie will counterbalance any bitterness from vegetables like kale and is very palatable.
NOTES
- For the highest sugar levels, I recommend a few vegetables, such as carrots, half a beetroot, or a lemon or lime, but the rest should be cucumbers, celery, ginger, kale, and other greens.
- It's important you calculate the carbs in your juice because they can be deceptively high.
- Once you have made juices, you can use them as a nutrient-dense base to create a healthy smoothie that you can use to replace meals when you're in a rush.
- The alternatives include blending with avocado, cacao powder, and vanilla extract. You can experiment with many different ingredients; just be sure to include the juice as a base and egg yolks for the nutrients.
