Alejandro Junger’s Apple, Kale, Sunflower Sprout & Radish Juice recipe is made of apples, sunflower sprouts, cucumber, kale, lemon, daikon white radish or red radish.  If you can’t find sunflower sprouts, then you can substitute other sprouts.  If you can find daikon white radishes in your grocery, I’d highly recommend trying them… otherwise, red radish [...]

Alejandro Junger’s Green Juice Recipe is a mixture of green apples, celery, lacinato kale, swiss chard, cabbage, broccoli, cucumber and lemon.  If you prefer a slightly sweeter juice, try a golden delicious or red apple, rather than a green apple.  Also, if you can’t find lacinato kale, any kale will do (the more green the [...]

Alejandro Junger’s Carrot & Ginger Soup recipe is a great way to get some ginger into your diet.  The butternut squash, carrots, yellow squash and celery add a great depth to the soup, and work beautifully with the ginger.  If you don’t have a juicer to “juice” the ginger, then sometimes I just grate the [...]

Alejandro Junger’s Pineapple & Avocado Gazpacho Soup recipe is super easy and requires very few ingredients.  I never would have thought to make a soup with pineapple, avocado, jalapeno chili peppers and lime juice… but after reading it and making it, it is so obviously a winner!  I sometimes even eat this soup as a [...]

Alejandro Junger’s Spinach & Dulse Soup recipe is kind of like a Green Drink but in a soup form.  I have been known to even eat this soup as my breakfast!  You can serve Spinach & Dulse soup cold or warm or even room temperature, it is a very versatile soup… but any way you [...]
