Asparagus ,Coriander and Onion juice
Yield: 1 glass
Weight loss benefit:
1. Asparagus is an alkaline based vegetable which makes it ideal for
burning fat. It is low in calories but high in protein, folic acid, beta carotene
and Vitamin C.
2. Coriander leaves contain a host of nutrients, fiber, carbohydrates,
Vitamin C and minerals such as calcium, iron, niacin, potassium,
phosphorous, riboflavin, thiamine and oxalic acid. Coriander promotes
digestion and cleanses and strengthens the stomach. It is also a good
diuretic (promotes the production of urine), which helps rid the body of
toxins.
Ingredients:
asparagus 1/3 cup (about 3 medium spears)
coriander leaves ½ cup (about 5 sprigs)
chopped white onion 1 ½ tablespoons
brown sugar 2 tablespoons
distilled water 1 ½ cup
Preparation:
1. Rinse asparagus in cold running water. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
2. Boil 2 cups water and add asparagus. Cook until it becomes tenderly
crispy and bright green. Do not cook until it becomes mushy or olive
green in color. Remove asparagus from water and dry well. Set aside.
3. Rinse coriander in cold running water. Chop coriander leaves.
4. Wash onions. Chop into 1-inch cubes.
5. Put asparagus, coriander and onion in a juicer. Add 1 ½ cup distilled
water and sugar. Process until a smooth juice is produced.
6. Pour into a glass and drink fresh.
Variation:
Squeeze a few drops of lemon to counter the strong taste of coriander.
For an added kick, add 4 thin slices of ginger before juicing.
