Vegan day 18: Green champagne
Lifethyme on 6th Avenue (by 9th Street), Greenwich Village, makes the best green champagne that I have had to date, but “you have to get there before 9pm!” lol That’s what they tell us every week when my friend and I get there… late.. after the gym!
My friend swears these are the ingredients so I made it today:
GREEN CHAMPAGNE
Spinach
Collard green
Kale
Celery
Ginger
Lemon
Apple
Put these into a juicer and juice away!
Enjoy!
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is one of my favorite herbs to juice with or cook! It gives a powerful flavor and has incredible benefits. “In Ayurvedic tradition, ginger is known as ‘the great or universal medicine’.” ~ Desk Reference to Nature’s Medicine
Benefits include:
- Stimulates and aids digestion
- Ease stomach upset, diarrhea and nausea
- Relief for arthritis and colic
- Helpful for heart conditions
- Guard agaiinst intestinal parasites
- Promote perspiration and warm the stomach
- Ease the symptoms of common cold and flu
- Improves circulation
- Helpful for liver function
- Reduces flatulence
- Helps relieve muscle tension and joint pain when added to massage oil
- May be helpful for motion sickness, morning sickness and chemo-induced sickness
You can make ginger tea by slicing up 1 ounce of ginger and simmering it in a pint of water. You can also add lemon for added benefits!
