Your New Favorite Green Juice // Guest Recipe!

While all green juices are filled with anti-inflammatory properties, this one by Elise Museles of Kale and Chocolate kicks it up a notch with turmeric, ginger, cilantro, and pineapple all in one glass. Of course, it's good for you, but it tastes good too!

*Helps balance pH by alkalinizing the body

*Detoxifies

*Floods the body with minerals, vitamins, phytonutrients, and antioxidants
