Cleanse & Rejuvenation is in full swing and one of the fresh juices we are serving up is a healthy green juice. This is a low carbohydrate drink rich in nutrients well-suited if you have Type 2 diabetes, high blood sugar, pre-diabetes, or are simply looking to cut down on sweets. The minty, tart flavor is light and satisfying. Cucumber and lettuce are great for skin, naturally low in calories, high in vitamin K which is important for blood clotting and bones and high in folate and vitamin C. Ginger helps warm the drink to support digestion and offer anti-inflammatory properties.
