Seasonal Produce Calendar: Summer Juicing Recipes for Weight Loss and Detox
I have been hearing rave reviews from people about the health benefits of juicing for years now and I’ve never actually tried it myself. Since summer is officially here and I want to get in better shape and feel healthier, I have decided that I will finally give it a go. It’s a great way to include all of the fresh summer produce in my diet and lose weight, detox and get back into that itty bitty bikini I used to sport in the Seychelles! All that is required is a juicer, fresh organic produce and the motivation to replace either breakfast or dinner with one of these refreshing recipes. Just throw them into the juicer and enjoy!

I would love to hear if you have any juicing tips or tricks!
These are such great recipes! Sometimes when I juice I make a huge batch and pour it into ice cube trays to use later (since I’m lazy and hate all the clean up, haha!). xo
What a great idea! I will definitely give that a try. Thanks Kathryn!:)
