I’ve never been a big apple juice fan. Although, I do like things made with apples, such as applesauce, apple pie, apples in my oatmeal, etc. … just not the juice itself.

Then, my brilliant self realized the common ingredient in all of those. . . CINNAMON. Right.

So, I added a little cinnamon to my fresh apple juice, shook it up [benefit of drinking out of a mason jar] and voila. AMAZING.

With the addition of the cinnamon, it almost felt like a treat.

ps. These are the jars I use!

Health Benefits of Apple Juice:

• Flushes the liver and kidneys and is low in calories
  
• Helps to reduce bad cholesterol levels
• The addition of cinnamon helps reduce inflammation

Today’s 3 Tips on Juicing:

How are you all feeling after an entire week of juicing? Eager to buy a juicer? Making an extra stop at your local shop for fresh juice? If you’re totally bored with all this, I apologize. I’ll be back to posting solid foods next week. In the meantime, have a fabulous weekend!!
