Fasting Juice

This is an amazing juice. It satisfies on so many levels and is also a great detoxifier and sustainer. It’s a great juice for a juice feast because it has the calories to carry you, is loaded with nutrients, and is a great cleanser.

Usually I would not juice something that is already so juicy, but for a specific juice fast it’s a real winner.

¼ average sized watermelon with rind

2 large or 4 to 5 small cucumbers

For this recipe I used small Persian cucumbers because that’s what I had on hand.

Celery is a really nice substitute for the cucumber, and contains sodium and other important electrolytes if you feel you are in need. Otherwise enjoy as is.

Be sure to juice the rind as well so you get all that good chlorophyll. When you eat watermelon out of hand save the rinds to juice or throw into your smoothie the next morning so you don’t waste that great nutrition. You can read more on the benefits of chlorophyll on the Detox Diet Recipes page. Enjoy!
