The Juice Lady’s Happy Morning Juice

If you are a not a morning person, this is the perfect green juice to get you off to a great start for the day. This recipe comes from Cherie Calbom, better known as “The Juice Lady”.

Fennel is said to help the body release endorphins, from the brain into the bloodstream. According to the “Juice Bible”, endorphins help lessen anxiety, fear and promote a mood of euphoria. If you are going to rely on fennel juice to feel euphoric, we may a bigger issue at hand. Having said that, Cherie Calbom has some great recipes and this Happy Morning Juice is one of them for me.
