Hi friends! I wanted to share this wonderful little drink with you today. It is called Dr. Oz’s green drink. Dr. Oz talks about his green drink often and all of it’s wonderful health benefits. He recommends that we drink it daily and when you see what all is in it you will understand why. It offers many antioxidant properties and even though it is green, I promise it really is fresh and sweet and just plain good! As a matter of fact, Oprah calls it “fresh in a glass”!
I received this great little juicer from my sweet and dear sister Sherry…..she knew I was jealous of all her juicing she has been doing lately! Thank you Sherry! You are always so thoughtful and sweet! Along with the juicer, she also shared a website that has many different juicing recipes. You can find recipes for anything from weight loss to arthiritis to sinus congestion. The latter is what I was searching for today when I woke up with a headache pain from my sinus congestion. You can find this website here.
ENJOY!
DR. OZ’S GREEN DRINK
2 apples
3 stalks celery
1 cucumber
1/2 thumb ginger
1/2 lemon
1/2 lime
1 bunch parsley
2 cup spinach
Put all items in juicer and juice! My particular juicer doesn’t allow the rind of the lemon and lime, although Dr. Oz’s recipe includes it. I used a microplane and zested it into my drink to get some of the benefit of the rind.
Sounds amazingly delicious – makes me want to get a juicer!
Thank you Bill! It was good and my headache is gone too!
Sounds really healthy! Just curious what the taste was like, did it taste very “veg”? Noticed you didn’t add any form of honey/ agave syrup or other forms of sweetener.
Thank you! No, it doesn’t taste like vegetables, the two apples add the perfect amount sweetness. There are other drinks on the mentioned website that are vegetable juice only and some that are much sweeter also. I have made another one very similar to Dr Oz’s green drink that had pineapple in it that made it a lot sweeter. I hope this helps!
Just in time to get us ready for swim suit season
Oh boy!
This is wonderful! Thank you!

Thank you Cara! It was very refreshing!
I don’t juice, but I sure drink a lot of smoothies. Blueberries and spinach are nice companions. Thanks for the link for recipes!
I have wanted to try a blueberry juice. Maybe I will do that next!
Hmm I’ve never tried juices like this before, but I bet this is awesome. Talk about some super nutritious ingredients!
It really is, you should try it!
Always fun to get a shiny new gadget! Have fun!
I am enjoying it!
