I've been drinking "Five Greens Juice" for about 5 years now and it's a great way to lose weight and gain energy. I hadn't thought to much about the health effects but if I stop drinking it I really miss it! I find that it elevates my metabolism and have far less cravings for crap food.
I learned of this drink while visiting Hong Kong long ago, and it's made me a believer. I didn't normally subscribe to "health drinks" but this is very easy to make, doesn't over fill you and gives you lots of nutrients.
Ingredients:
Cucumber
Green Pepper
Celery
Green Apple
Bittermelon
Just cut up equal portions of each vegetable and blend. I use a Magic Bullet which pulverizes and mixes all the vegetables very well. Let it sit for a few minutes and scrape off a little of the foam.
You can find bitter melon just about anywhere in Canada; it's inexpensive and packs a bundle of taste, if you like things bitter :) . You can find lots of related health benefits all over the internet.
