Cleansing Carrot and Cucumber juice

This juice was supposed to be part of my juice cleanse - although I haven't been very good at it and have craved and given in to eating solid food - maybe I need a bit longer to store up enough will power! However even though I haven't been totally juicing, I have been juicing! So here is one of my juices that will cleanse your body...

So I read up about what is really good for you in a juice and this is what I found:

• Cucumber juice: Helps your skin, hair and nails as it helps draw the dirt from your pores. Also it contains minerals that help strengthen your nails. As it is mostly water it is great at cleansing toxins from your body. Most importantly in the juice there is important compounds that help block the development of cancer cells inside your body. 
• Carrot juice: Detoxes the liver meaning that your whole body benefits! 
• Celery juice: Richly dense in minerals and vitamins (like Vitamin A and B) It also lowers cholesterol and blood pressure. It is very good at restoring the pH balance in the body which is needed for good health. 
• Lemon juice: VERY good for your skin - it cleanses the body and helps your skin be RADIANT ! It is rich in anti-oxidents and can help prevent heart failure. 

Ingredients 

• 4 large carrots 
• 1/2 a large cucumber 
• 1 - 2 celery stalks 
• 1 green apple 
• 1 lemon (I would peel it before juicing but for a stronger lemon flavour then leave on the peel) 
• Optional: Ice cubes 

Method 

1. Wash and cut of tops of the carrots and put through the juicer. Collect the pulp as you can use it in cooking, baking and salads. (Use it for this Carrot Cake recipe) 
2. Put all the other ingredients into the juicer. Add ice when you serve it. 
3. Enjoy (hopefully) - if you don't like the taste just remember all the good things it is doing for you!
