How to Make Green Juices Taste Delicious

Alkaline Foods, Greens, Mint, , , ,

It’s our Magic 3 – and boy are they magical.  It’s amazing just how much they can change the way our taste buds react to the darker green juice combinations.  Even your children will love them, and oh yes, even your reluctant partner in love.

Here is the easiest way to make those dark green juices come alive and taste spectacular!

MAGIC 3

  1. Limes/Lemons
  2. Fresh Mint (Spearmint and Peppermint are the best tasting)
  3. Apples or Pears

TOP GREENS

If you use the following leafy and nutritious greens, then our Magic 3 can work magic on the taste. The TOP Greens, nutrition wise,  not in any specific order are kale, spinach, parsley, swiss chard, collards, turnip greens, mustard greens, broccoli, green and red romaine lettuces and green and red cabbage.

Here is a good example of how to balance out your green drinks. Make your juice combo have these percentages:

  • 80% from any one of the top greens above
  • 10% from apples or pears
  • 10% from lemons or limes

If you leave the peel on the limes and/or lemons, this will make your drink stronger. If your produce is not organic, please never use the skin, but double up on the lime and/or lemons because without the skin, they are not as potent.  So, for example, if you are using 1  lime with skin, we say use 2 limes without the peel.

One Fruit And No More!

We do not recommend adding any other fruit into the green juice combinations because if you add too much fruit,  you will mitigate any real value in absorption of nutrients and the drink becomes much less alkaline.  The whole idea is to absorb nutrients and to receive the benefits of the high alkalinity from these green juices. That’s why we limit the sweetness to only 10% of the drink.  Keep it down to 10% and you’ll be fine, even if you want to add 10% of pineapple as the only sweetener.  I don’t recommend it, but if you must, then just do the 10%.

Mint Can Be A Great Addition

Add as much of the mint into the drinks as you like because they are a leafy herb, rich in nutrients and very low in sugars.  Even the limes or lemons can be extended to 20% if you have to in the beginning, to start to train your taste buds to like the green juices.  But I am asking you not to add too much fruit.  The secret is to add more mint to the drink if you are struggling along with a lime.

Pumpkin Pie Almond Spice Drink

Almonds, Anti-Cancer, Nut milk, Pumpkin, , , , , ,

Here’s a recipe that uses pumpkin in the form of fresh juice, yes I said juice.  We juice fresh pumpkin, add requisite sweetness with apples, add fresh almond milk for creaminess and soaked spices to round out the flavor. Umm Good!

It seems like everywhere you turn another food item is adding pumpkin to it’s name and some amount of pumpkin taste, if not actual pumpkin. What we wanted to accomplish with this recipe was a drink with the taste of pumpkin pie and also deliver a nutritional punch unmatched in pumpkin pie itself.

 Give Your Body A Boost with Powerful Pumpkin

You may not be aware of the powerful pumpkin when it comes to nutritional value. It’s chocked full of beneficial nutrients like vitamin A in the form of carotenoids that the body converts to the usable form. It provides anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer effects that boost immune response, is great for eye health and slows the aging process. Vitamin C for immune support, tissue growth and repair. Minerals like potassium for calming blood pressure, magnesium for teeth, bones, heart health and more.

Almond Milk In One Easy Step with the PowerGrind Pro

Of course almonds are also of great benefit to the body and the Jay Kordich PowerGrind Pro is the only juice machine that can make almond milk in one easy step. Simply add soaked nuts and water at the same time you are juicing the rest of the ingredients. Almonds are packed full of vitamin E, B-vitamins, calcium, magnesium, zinc and potassium plus protein and high in monounsaturated fats that helps lower inflammation.

Watch Linda Kordich make our tasty fall recipe, Pumpkin Pie Almond Spice Drink. Let us know what you think of this recipe in the comments section below the video.

Ginger Found To Inhibit Breast Cancer Cells

Anti-Cancer, Breast Cancer, Cancer, Ginger, , , ,

More good news about plants for prevention and treatment of disease. A recent study published in the Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology has shown ginger to inhibit growth of breast cancer cells, while simultaneously not prohibiting the growth of health cells nearby. As we know, this behavior is not typical of conventional cancer treatments and it’s one of the reasons this research is exciting.

Breast Cancer Cells Killed Using Ginger

The study terms can get pretty arcane, but here goes some of the quotes from the research:
Ginger treatment suppressed the proliferation and colony formation in breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. Meanwhile, it did not significantly affect viability of nontumorigenic normal mammary epithelial cell line (MCF-10A). Treatment of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 with ginger resulted in sequences of events marked by apoptosis, accompanied by loss of cell viability, chromatin condensation, DNA fragmentation, activation of caspase 3, and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase.

Still with me?  I know it’s technical stuff and if you read even more of the study, you very clearly understand that the scientists had discovered something important. The properties of ginger had shown ability to selectively kill cancer cells while not significantly affecting the non-tumor cells. This anti-cancer activity was positive enough that the scientists made this statement:
These findings suggest that the ginger may be a promising candidate for the treatment of breast carcinomas.

No Need To Wait For More Studies. Juice Ginger Now!

Of course more studies are coming. More universities and researchers will be looking into these new findings and expanding on them. In the mean time the rest of us have the ability to use this information right now, every day when we make juice with our Jay Kordich PowerGrind Pro juicer by simply adding 1/4 to 1/2 inch slice of fresh ginger root to whatever juice combo we are making.

Don’t own your own juice machine?  Grate some fresh ginger root into your salads and over that nice piece of grilled salmon you might be enjoying in tonight’s dinner.  There is no need to wait for more research. Enjoy the benefits of these health giving plants right now!

Check out the video below with Linda Kordich as she makes a very tasty smoothie recipe that uses ginger and also Jay’s Complete Protein powder. We call it The Gingerbread Cookie Smoothie.

Healthy Kidneys

Uncategorized, Watermelon, , , , , ,
Our Kidneys are quite important….it is our filterating system and if it becomes infected or congested, bladder troubles, urinary tract infections and serious problems can arise.  Yet we don’t really speak much about how to take care of our kidneys, so we thought we would write a short blog about what we have studied in these past three decades on how to take good care of our Kidneys. First and foremost let us say that freshly made, organic Cranberry, or Watermelon juices are some of our favourites.  Combined with other fruits helps make them even more important such as combining the Cranberries with the Apples. More on this below. ** The ingredients in these juices help keep our kidneys in good functioning order and working at their optimum.
Also, certain foods we eat can greatly impact the health and overall longevity of our kidneys.  Foods such as flour, either white or wheat, sugar, crackers, red or white meats can greatly harm our kidneys from functioning successfully.  Millions of Americans were eating high protein, flesh food diets to drop weight but they didn’t realize their kidneys were being negatively impacted by the high protein, no fiber foods.  That would include macrobiotic diets as well.   They don’t recommend drinking much water…and our kidneys NEED a flow of water to keep them buoyant, and functioning at their optimum, yet drinking vegetable juices and/or purified water is important, drinking liquids all at once can harm them as well, so try to stretch your liquid intake throughout the day.
==================================================
**Cranberry Juice
This spectacular berry helps support our kidneys, mostly due to its highly acidic juice. Its acid can help prevent kidney stones from developing. Cranberries contain a chemical called polymer and it is the polymer in cranberries that is responsible for increasing the acidity of your urine as well as helping prevent bacteria from growing.  We don’t recommend drinking the juice cooked, processed or riddled with sugar. You can purchase fresh Cranberries usually from October through February.  Remember, Organic only!
Here’s a great recipe we have been using for many decades:
Cranberry-Apple (Our Pink Flush!)
2 Cups Organic Cranberries (fresh)
2 Organic Red Delicious Apples
Alternate in between juicing the Cranberries with the Apples so that the thick Cranberries get flushed through properly.
=================================
Here’s a great tonic we use in the summertime when Watermelon’s are at their peak.
WATERMELON WHIP!
1 small, Organic Watermelon
Directions: Cut into long strips, using the entire Watermelon.
Note:
According to a 1995 Harvard University study, watermelon contains a lot of potassium, which is very helpful in cleaning or washing off the toxic deposits in the kidneys. It is also helpful in reducing the concentration of uric acid in the blood.
Watermelon also has a high water content that induces frequent urination, which is also helpful for cleansing the kidneys. Its antioxidants help ensure good kidney health.

SALADS FOR BREAKFAST?

Alkaline Foods, Almonds, Walnuts, , , ,

Do you have BREAKFAST Confusion? My friends, please try to think outside of the box….because I have learned that eating the traditional way of American breakfasts is one of the main reasons WHY we are diabetic in this (ironically) rich Country of ours!! ! I can’t tell you how many people have asked me throughout the years what I recommend for breakfast.  There is NO possible way could I possibly eat sugared breakfasts like waffles, pancakes, or even cereal. Eating this old fashioned way will not bring you longevity. Here is what I eat about three times a week…..and the answer may shock you….

I eat Salads for breakfast. Yes, I do.

I eat a big green salad sometimes with some protein in the salad. I call them my POWER BREAKFASTS. Here’s a great salad that I love to eat ALL ORGANIC….in the Fall/Winter mornings:
1 cup Organic Pecans
1 cup Spinach
1 large Avocado
1 cup shredded Green Cabbage
1/2 cup Cranberries or Raisins
1 cup Quinoa (red or black is my favorite)
1 cup Broccoli
1/3 cup Sunflower Seeds
1 or 2 LIMES (juiced)

Mix it all together and enjoy! During the Spring/Summertime I usually eat salads three times a week in the mornings and then use the rest of the week to drink green smoothies.When it becomes hotter in the spring/summertime remove so many of the nuts and replace with summertime veggies such as cucumber, celery, jicima, with also adding more spring lettuces.

Coloring our Juices!

Beets, Cancer, , , , , , ,

COLOR in your Juice?

To stay vitally healthy….being cognizant of adding concentrated vibrant color in our diet and in our juices is quite important.  Linda and I juice by color….and we suggest that this tonic will light up your brain cells for optimum memory and on top of that, it helps reduce cancer risk.

Here’s my TONIC to do JUST this!!

1 cup Purple (with seeds please) Grapes
2 cups Blueberries or Blackberries
2 Plums (de-seeded)
1 or 2 Bartlett Pears

Now that’s Brain Power!..Please never forget the power of concentrated COLOR in your foods.  Don’t care for fresh fruit juices?  Here’s another TONIC that is derived from the powerhouse PURPLE cabbage.  It even looks like a brain.  Amazing how Nature is so illustrious and creative.

2 cups Purple Cabbage
2 dark Red (Delicious) Apples ***
1/2 Beet with 2 of its beetroot leaves

*** If you do not juice apples for blood sugar/glycemic reasons, you can substitute 1 large cucumber for 2 apples.

No Energy in the Mornings? Here’s our solution……

Diabetes, Parsley, Uncategorized, , , , ,

by Jay Kordich on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 7:17pm ·

Caffeine addicted but….love coffee? Yes, it’s a huge LOVE/HATE addiction. Caffeine will alter your liver and gallbladder’s ability to function normally. It is also highly ACIDIC. I have been witnessing this addiction in people for over 60 years. Coffee drinker’s trademarks are: Yellowing skin, dark spots on skin, dry, brittle nails and pre-mature aging and deep wrinkles on the face. Drinking coffee/caffeine also puts a huge strain on our nervous system, furthering our inability to feel relaxed. Caffeine is a real drug, with long standing withdrawls…..but there is an easy way OUT of this addiction. Here are our suggestions which many people have told us in the past really works and only takes 10 days!

#1. Upon arising, go on a 15 brisk minute WALK in the morning outside for 10 days.

#2. Make 16 ounces of fresh DARK BLACK GRAPE JUICE (Riber) are the best, and juice them with their ‘seeds’. Only dark grapes. This will give you a tremendous amount of instant energy.

#3. Don’t eat any other foods until lunchtime. This will keep your brain’s blood in your brain, instead of your stomach as it’s being called upon to digest heavier foods. *

#4. Drink lots of water throughout the day, at least 64 ounces of purified (preferably highly alkaline water).

#5. When you come home from work, make a soothing supergreen tonic. **

#6. You WILL encounter headaches. This will pass in 48 hours or less.  Within 5 days, you will not encounter any more pain, but you will feel sluggish for another 7 days. But this sluggishness will diminish everyday you stay away from the sodas, black tea or coffee.  Trust in this process!

Within 10 days, you will have overcome your addiction to caffeine and now you will well be on your way to becoming more and more attracted to fresh, organic, green juices, wheatgrass juices and living foods that will enhance your natural energy even more. Coffee WILL and DOES deaden your tastebuds, furthering the downhill addictions to more sugary, acidic foods, and also attracting you to alcohol to help you get ‘down’ from the highs caffeine takes you into.

*If you are sugar sensitive, you can substitute the Dark Grape Tonic with fresh Grapefruit Juice (peel the skin and leave lots of the white pulp).  Add some fresh ginger root to this tonic (approximately 1/2 inch).  Juice 2 grapefruits this way (preferably Ruby Red Grapefruit) and then add the ginger root in between juicing.  If you don’t  like Grapefruit (which is quite low in sugars), you can juice fresh Blueberries.  These two fruits are low in sugars (glycemic index) unless you are diabetic. If you are diabetic, we suggest you consult your physician.

**Here’s my Supergreen Energy Tonic: (this can also be substituted instead of the Dark Grapes for breakfast, or you can juice the grapes one day, then the next day, use this tonic (below).

Jay’s Anti-Caffeine Energy Tonic

6 Ribs Celery

1 Cup Spinach

1 Cup Dandelion Greens

1 Cup Parsley

3 Green Apples (or Red Delicious)

1 large Unwaxed Cucumber

1 small or 2 large Limes with skin

(please all organic!)

Drink 24 to 36 ounces of this tonic daily for two solid weeks.

The first few days you may feel nauseated and headachy and

your bowels may be loose, but this will go away in 24 to 48 hours.

You may LOVE coffee…but it does not love you!

My Most Recent Juicing Demonstration

Longevity, , , , ,

Recently I was in Florida with Paul Nison, who was kind enough to invite us to speak in West Palm Beach, Florida.  I spoke about the importance of living LIFE first, naturally.  No chemicals in your foods, no artificial ingredients in foods, or artificial colors in your foods.  Please always read labels, and especially, if you have allergies, or your children have allergies this is of the utmost importance.

I also spoke about the importance of eating fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables, legumes and herbs.  Fresh!  Juice everyday and surround yourself with salads by making your main meals out of large green salads.

I hope you enjoy the video. I dedicate it to you.

And just remember, I know that we cannot live

forever, but my deepest goal is to live my life as

healthily and joyfully as possible.  It’s our responsibility

to take care of ourselves to the best of our ability, and

to help our children  understand this virtue as well.

All the best to you!
