Upgrading Your Store Bought OJ

Most of us think of orange juice as being healthy because of its vitamin C content, but I hate to tell you that alone isn't a reason to consume 28 g of sugar with only 0.5g of fiber with just 8 ounces of OJ. That is a TON of sugar going into your child's (or your own body). Sugar lowers their immune systems, feeds the bad gut bacteria, causes insulin spikes and fat storage (and over time insulin resistance as they get older). So when I allow OJ once in a while here is how we UPGRADE IT!

Green Juice OJ

• 4 oz OJ (preferably organic with some pulp for fiber)

• 2 oz water (we omitted from the video for simplicity sake, but we usually add water to OJ)

• 1/2 - 1 scoop Amazing Grass Greens Powder (for taste profile you are going to want to get this one in our opinion- I have tried many and lots Makayla, the oldest won't consume because it tastes like cut grass and top soil)not cloudy!, u

• 1 oz Aloe Juice (organic and pure. Make sire it is not cloudy, the cloudy "pulp" can be toxic)

Directions: Add liquids then powder into a glass mason jar. Put on the lid and shake until well mixed with no clumps. Cheers!

Benefits of Aloe:

• Aloe contains phytonutrients, potassium, iron, magnesium, manganese, copper, selenium, and zinc.

• Great for hydration

• Helps soothe constipation

• Makes the body less acidic which is especially important since the standard American diet is very acidic and inflammatory.

• Contains enzymes to help break down fats and sugars which aids in digestion and being able to utilize the nutrients you take in better.

Benefits of Amazing Grass Greens Powder:

• They combine "alkalizing farm fresh greens & over 1 full serving of wholesome fruits and veggies plus an antioxidant blend packed with 15,000 ORAC units per serving" according to the company's claims.

• It also contains digestive enzymes along with a pre/probiotic blend.

• Vitamins A, C, K, Calcium, Iron, sodium & potassium

• Great way to sneak in nutrients when your kiddos diets are too low on fresh vegetables!
