Six Reasons to Drink Green Juice Every Day
Check out this short article on the fabulous benefits of Green Juice! MMMM!!! We drink our juice or green smoothies every morning but it is still nice to be reminded of the benefits we are getting. I love doing what is more beneficial for me as much as possible and why not have that be the focus and start of each and every day!?!
So even if you don’t own a juicer you can always either make a quick green smoothie or go to a local juice store and order one up. Love it!
Here is my favorite recipe for our everyday green juice. But of course feel free to spice it up every once in a while for a change.
My go to recipe is:
- 2 different heads of greens (kale, chard, romaine, etc.)
- either a celery or cucumber base (3-5 stalks of celery or 1/2-whole cucumber)
- 1-2 green apples
It is really very simple and the whole process from washing the greens, juicing to cleaning the juicer happens in less than 15 minutes! So there is no time excuse for me, unless I am truly rushing out the door and then I could always stop at a local juice place and order it up I always try to use as many organic veggies as possible. We drink these raw and we want to get the maximum benefits, so organic is the only way to go!

I read this on the Livin’ Veg Blog. I wanted to pass it along in case this could benefit anyone or anyone you know. I wish this was around when I was going to school!!
College Scholarships For Vegetarians
Know a high school junior who is a vegetarian? Do they help promote vegetarianism in their community? The Vegetarian Resource Group has a great annual grant. They give out $10,000 total ($5,000 each) in college scholarships to two veggies. The annual deadline is February 20. You’ve got plenty of time before the next round.
In this economic climate, any money is helpful. But I just love that the VRG is giving away funds specifically to young people who make compassionate decisions about their diet. What is the criteria?
Applicants will be judged on having shown compassion, courage, and a strong commitment to promoting a peaceful world through a vegetarian diet/lifestyle.

A new website from the Pesticide Action Network called What’s On My Food uses data from the USDA and EPA to show the pesticides found on everything from almonds to watermelon.
What’s On My Food?is a searchable database designed to make the public problem of pesticide exposure visible and more understandable.
How does this tool work? We link pesticide food residue data with the toxicology for each chemical, making this information easily searchable for the first time.pesticides are a public health problem requiring public engagement to solve.
