Indulging on food isn’t always a bad thing. However, we sometimes tend to extend our cheat days for a day or two…or three. While we pull out hot tea to take care of our bloat, photographer Sara Black also suggests a healthy green juice to make up for “weekend’s sins.”
Experts say that a veggie-heavy green juice can provide a good amount of potassium, Vitamin A, and protein. Plus, it has less sugar than fruit smoothies which lessens the risk of diabetes. Some recipes also give your body a natural diuretic from cucumbers to wake you up in the morning. As much as we love coffee, we’re sold by that perk.
Sara’s green juice only takes a few ingredients that you can find in the grocery, and a making won’t take too much time.
