My Quest to Create Delicious Summer Juices and Smoothies Based on Our Amazing Nurture My Body Ingredients

Working at Nurture My Body has really made me think not only about what I'm putting ON my body, but also what I'm putting IN. As an avid juicer, I decided to use a few of my favorite NMB products as inspirations for my healthy, happy, morning meals. Check out my creations - and their inspirations - below!

Citrus Sunday Sipper

Using ingredients from Citrus Hand & Body Lotion

Nothing says "summer" like fresh citrus, and my Sunday Sipper doesn't disappoint. Inspired by the fresh, uplifting scent of our Citrus Hand & Body Lotion's organic essential oils like blood orange and tangerine, this perky beverage was just what I need to kick start the last day of the weekend. Try mixing it with your favorite tea for a new take on an Arnold Palmer!

• 3 blood oranges
• 1 tangerine
• 1 lemon
• 1/2 cup mint leaves
• 4 ribs celery
• 1 medium cucumber
• 2 green apples
• local honey to taste

Peel the oranges, tangerine, and lemon. Toss these into your juicer and let it rip! Once you have your juice, add local honey to soften out the flavor.

The California Bunny Rabbit

Using ingredients from Eye Cream

Okay, I know what you're thinking... What makes this bunny rabbit a West Coaster? Simple, avocado! this amazing fruit lends its creamy texture to an otherwise traditional juice. i have gotten my friends hooked on this incredible Eye Cream and was inspired by ingredients like avocado oil and wildcrafted carrot seed essential oil. Throw this in a mason jar and save it for an awesome lunch on the go!

• 6 carrots
• 2 green apples
• 2 cups kale
• 4 ribs celery
• 1 cup spinach
• 1 lemon
• 1/2 hass avocado

Peel the lemon and combine all of the ingredients (except the avocado) in your juicer. Transfer the fresh juice to your blender and add the avocado. Blend until smooth! For some extra healthy fat, add a whole avocado!

Grumpy Gazpacho

Using ingredients from Ginger Body Wash

This juice is not for the faint of heart! Inspired by the organic ginger found in this best-selling body wash, this spicy eye-opener is just what I need to start my Mondays off strong. Add as much or as little jalapeno as you like but remember - the longer this juice sits in the fridge, the hotter it can get.

• 3 tomatoes
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 cup cilantro
• 4 ribs celery
• 2 green bell peppers
• 1 lime
• 1/4 inch know of ginger
• 1 jalapeno, seeded

Peel the lime and ginger and put all of the ingredients into the juicer. If you wish, start by adding a small amount of jalapeno and add more if desired.
