NATURAL ENERGY GREEN JUICE RECIPE
Simply put, this fresh natural energy green juice recipe is simply a mixture of water and whole food plants filled with vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.
Cinnamon is a key ingredient here, it makes this “green” juice especially tasty and provides tons of antioxidants as well as helps makes this a great juice for diabetics.
This natural energy green juice is a quick and easy way to give your body tons of fantastic nourishment and sustained energy without having to eat pounds of fruits and vegetables.
This whole juice will give you a sustained boost without the caffeine jitters most people are used to and you don’t have to waste money on energy drinks full of iffy ingredients.
Plus, if you’re used to drinking excessive amounts of caffeine for that big energy boost (more than 500-600 milligrams, equivalent to 5-7 cups of coffee), your body will be dehydrated as a result…and that is not a good thing for our healthy bodies!
Don’t have a Blendtec or Vitamix blender? That’s okay, learn how to make this recipe using a regular blender.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF CINNAMON
One tablespoon of cinnamon has the same amount of antioxidants as 1 cup of pomegranate juice, which has even more than red wine, green tea, blueberries, and asparagus. Antioxidants help keep us youthful, rejuvenated, & alive. Cinnamon is an extremely powerful blood cleanser, as it has some of the best anti-bacterial properties ever seen in such a common spice. In addition, new research results are showing the great benefits cinnamon has on the liver, which too is vital for cleansing the blood. Cinnamon’s scent alone offers empowering effects in concentration /alertness / focus. In one study, researchers found that a loaf of bread that had significant amounts of cinnamon was far slower to mold (as in days) than non-cinnamon counterparts. Cinnamon is one of the most powerful spices in terms of health and is likely sitting in your pantry this very moment. Give your body the royal treatment by enjoying the protective, cleansing, and rejuvenating health benefits that cinnamon, the Queen of Spices, has to offer.

Hi, Shauna, and WELCOME to Blender Babes! Check out our Why It’s Important to Rotate Your Greens for Smoothies article and pick another green that suits your needs! Happy Blending!
Good morning. I just tried this and a very tough time with it. Truth be told, I am new to green and just got my Vitamix. I want to do these green smoothies/juice but this one was struggles. I am looking for advice and how to incorporate green. Thanks.
Hi Adam, thank you so much for reaching out to us. We are SO EXCITED for you getting a Vitamix and starting to incorporate more greens into your diet. My suggestion is to try our FREE 21 day green smoothie challenge. It gives you weekly shopping lists and you can try a new green smoothie everyday. It starts with more basic green smoothies and works up to ones with more ingredients. If you find one you LOVe, then you can do it more than once and maybe try small variations of it. I’ll tell you my FAVORITE green smoothie is this Pistachio Ice Cream Kale Green Smoothie and also our Acai Cancer Fighting Green Smoothie
Just had this and what a boost of energy it gave me. Even in this 90 degree weather I am
still energized.
Love it Rita! So glad you enjoyed it! It’s one of our favorites too! Have a beautiful weekend 🙂
What is a serving for one person? One cup? Three cups? Thanks!
Hi Bonnie! I usually drink 16 up to 32oz, however 1 serving is traditionally 1 8oz cup 🙂 Just drink as much as you want to and freeze the rest for another time you don’t have time to blend!! xoxo
