JUICES:

WILD POWER JUICE
Generous handful of stinging nettles
Generous handful of grass (young barley or wheat)
Handful lambs quarters
several stems fresh mint
3 large celery ribs
3 small apples
1 lemon

Extract in a Green Star juicer and drink immediately!
Because of the richness of the greens, we consumed
only about 2-3oz., not knowing what affect, if any, this powerful juice would have on us. Suffice to say, we liked this juice so much that we plan to incorporate
wild edibles into our regular juicing routine. This recipe
makes approximately 12oz. of juice. What we did not
drink immediately, we stored in a tightly covered 8oz jar and refigerated, so that we can drink it the next day.
P.S. When picking Stinging Nettles, use heavy gloves
as the leaves have sharp, needle-type prickers that can
be painful if touched. While cutting and washing, I used
tongs to hold the stems. When juiced, the nettle prickers are eliminated. Nettles are best harvested before they are two feet tall. They can also be dried and eaten or used as a tea.

ROUSING ROOT JUICE
2 large carrots
1 medium beet
1 small parsnip
couple stems parsley (optional)
small sliver of ginger
couple dashes cinnamon

With a juice extractor. juice all ingredients. Pour into a glass and serve with a dash of cinnamon on top.

1 stalk celery
2-3 stems parsley
½ small onion
1 large garlic
½ cup cucumber
2 leaves red chard or handful of spinach
2 tbsp. hemp protein powder (optional)
dash cayenne pepper
herbs to taste (basil, oregano, sage)
1-2 cups purified water

Cut tomatoes, celery and place in blender. Chop remaining ingredients, add water, and blend until smooth to desired consistency.
