Health food and drink producer Evolution Fresh started National Green Juice Day, Today January 26th, as a way of encouraging those who’ve made a New Year’s resolution to stay or get healthy.

Now here’s a food holiday we can get behind! Check out these recipes for National Green Juice Day. Many of us are ensconced in a love affair with fresh juice – particularly green juice. The infusion of phytonutrients, the pretty colours and the clarity of flavours are downright addictive, and we’re showing no signs of stopping. Get your fruits and veggies into a great juicer and sip your way to better nutrition.

CUCUMBER ALOE MELON JUICE:

After a fabulous morning yoga session or a run with the man, opt for this electrolyte-packed refresher. You’ll be a fan of aloe’s immunity-boosting powers and hydration, along with its nutritious bennies. Not just for cuts and scrapes, aloe is great for the inside of your body as well.

A RELIABLE WINTERGREEN JUICE:

For the best juice, always use what is in season. Unfortunately, farmers’ markets in January are loaded nearly exclusively with root vegetables, but luckily robust leafy greens like kale and collards are hardy vegetables and are available nearly year-round. This recipe calls for honey crisp apples since they are very juicy and you can always find them locally; however, pick whatever looks best.

FRESHEN UP JUICE:

Healthy juices can be super delicious, and this electrolyte-packed recipe proves it. With only five ingredients, including aloe vera, honeydew and mint, this juice will please your body and palate.
