Ultimate Human Performance Juice & Smoothie
who out there has a juicer. We have a juicer. Okay, cool. I want to show you guys a juicing recipe when I first discovered this recipe was before a long run and I went out and had the best run of my life. And ever since I've started to use this juicing recipe as one of my go to recipes when I just want to feel good so it can take some really basic ingredients and this is, this is not the smoothie. I'll demonstrate the smoothie in just a second, but I want to give some tips. You juice you juicers out there. So number one is this, we all know what this is right. Ginger ginger, one of the best anti inflammatories known to man, one of the top ultra runners in the world scott jerk. He just runs with a big hunk of ginger in his pocket and when he gets hurt or when he gets injured, he'll just start to eat the ginger right away to shut down that inflammation as quickly as possible, incredibly powerful. Anti inflammatory. You want to of course, shave it a little bit cut it, slice it, but you ca...
n juice it. You can juice a golf ball sized piece of ginger and that's what you'd want to use as the first component of this juice about a golf ball size of ginger is what I personally use for anti inflammatory. It's got some spice, but okay, and then you want, depending on the size of the carrot, anywhere from about 5 to 10 carrots. And this also depends on how much juice you actually want to make. Carrots are an incredibly rich source of beta carotene gene. Really good for your eyes. Really good base for juice. People say that they're sweet and they have too much sugar. It's pretty negligible. They've got they've got sugar in them, but they've also got a ton of water and a lot of vitamin content. So carrots are going to be the second part of this juicing recipe. So you're going to put ginger into your juice, you're gonna put carrots in your juicer, lemon juice as a digestive. I like to use 1 to 2 chopped lemons in this juice as well. Okay, so I'll put the lemons in there also as a digestive. And then I use a really good liver tonic. That's great at cleansing the liver. If you take pharmaceuticals, if you drink alcohol, if you're just concerned about your liver health in general, because your liver is, your body's detoxify their cilantro is another component and I'll just take about a handful of cilantro and put that into the juicer as well. Now I'll run all this stuff through the juicer and so now I've got my big cup of juice, it's very important that you not store juice. It begins to lose a lot of its beneficial properties pretty quickly after storage. You're gonna want to drink this fresh, but I'll do a few other things with it before I drink it. First of all, I add olive oil and I'll typically add about two tablespoons or so of olive oil to get some of those poly phenols and antioxidants. You just stir it in your, drinking it right away. You'll see some my cells and some fat globules and stuff as you drink it. But the olive oil doesn't actually fall on separate as long as you stir it up and drink it. One of the other things that not only adds minerals but will also keep the olive oil from forming these globules is assault. So I go through a lot of sea salt. I'll usually use an Aztec salt or a Himalayan salt, both of which have over 70 different minerals and electrolytes in them compared to regular table salt. But you mix all of those things together into the juicer. So you stir your sea salt and olive oil after you've juice, the lemon, the cilantro, the carrots and the ginger. And this would be what I would call the ultimate human performance juice. So for you, juicers out there, that's your recipe. Try this one out sometime this week
