Cinnamon Lime Green Juice + Days 3-4 of Juice Feasting
I have a wonderful new green juice recipe that you must try if you’re a crazed cinnamon fan like me. In fact, I’m such a fan of cinnamon that I have had clients laugh at me as I wax lyrical about yet another recipe with cinnamon.
I love it in avocado puddings, desserts, on baked vegetables, nut milks, smoothies, even salads. Just check out my recipes page for evidence. Now I also love it in green juice.
Sceptical of this flavour match? I was too until Rande’s recipe convinced me otherwise. Just try it. You won’t be sorry.
Cinnamon Lime Green Juice (adapted from here)
Ingredients:
2 cucumbers
1 head cos/romaine lettuce
6 stalks silverbeet
1 small knob of ginger
2 limes
Handful of parsley
Squirt of liquid stevia
Sprinkle of cinnamon (or use a half teaspoon or more like me!)
Directions:
Juice all ingredients except the stevia and cinnamon. Add these, stir and serve. All stirred together…
Lovely at room temperature or over ice.
Juice Feasting Update
The last two days of juice feasting have been amazing. My energy is soaring, I feel euphoric, blissful, peaceful. I have barely slept, possibly one to two hours per night, and yet my energy is strong and consistent. I do however hope I get a few more hours tonight
.
This can happen with fasting. There is such a natural life force energy flow through the body as pathways and blockages are cleared and the body is free from digestion. Sleep doesn’t always feel as necessary.
You can certainly (and ideally will) sleep deeply and soundly most nights when feasting however this erratic quality is not uncommon. If you are in this situation, do not fret, simply do what you can to bring your energy to a beautiful, calm and peaceful place and rest as you need to. You might like to check out my post on getting a restful night sleep here too. I swear I do know a thing or two about this despite my current sleep situation
.
Day 3 consumption:
3L green juice (cos, silverbeet, parsley, lime, cucumber)
1L Cinnamon Lime Green Juice
1 cup of strained freshly made almond milk from a raw food cafe (not something I will include regularly but was a beautiful icy delight yesterday)
Many litres of spring water
Day 4 consumption:
1.2L Cinnamon Lime Green Juice
1.2L Mexicana Green Juice
Lots of spring water and herbal tea
Your Question: What interesting spices or flavours do you add to recipes that are surprising but wonderful together?

Nice
I’m gonna give it a try but will have to replace a few ingredients and do with what I have on hand
Butter lettuce and lemons
By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask you, when I fast/feast, I seem to not enjoy celery juice in my green juices as much as I do when not feasting. Just does not really appeal to my taste buds. Do you feel you are experiencing the same? I’m asking because if I’m not mistaken I believe you haven’t had celery juice yet on your fast/feast.
Sounds lovely Ka!
I love celery in juices but organic celery is crazy expensive (and not even really available right now) here so I haven’t been using it at all.
I see, that’s right it is expensive, more than usual anyways
I buy some from organic growers(not certified though!) at our farmers markets and it’s an affordable option! Thanks for responding Casey! xx
I’m currently obsessed with cardamom (and cinnamon, but I never stop adding that to everything
) Going to check out your sleep post now – I’m struggling a lot with that right now.
HOpe you get some more rest soon Hannah! Yum, cardamom…love it and will have to experiment with that one!
Looks like a healthy and delicious juice. Who can’t resist to that.
Thank you, glad you think so!
I admire you and your fasting. I would feel hungry in the evening I mean that amount of juice will last me till dinner time and even if I would make more next day I would need something more dense. Also we have everyday social dinner time when we sit like family with my husband my 2 years old girl so it will be hard just to drink with them. I mean may be 1 day it will be ok, but I can not imagine more.-) Good luck
Thanks for the sweet words Sam.
The first few days can certainly be a bit hungry, especially in the evening, but it goes after a few days and you just drink as much juice as you need! Some days I feel like very little, other days I want tons.
Enjoy your juicing daily and clean meals and you are doing amazing. No need to fast.
Thanks a lot I just wanted to try to see what will happen.-)
My girl love green juice too she drink about 0.5-1liter a day but she drink it only to replace milk:-) not food
Hi, is there a substitute for the cinnamon lime green juice?
Which part are you looking for a substitute for?
