“Does it have weed in it?”

The first time I made this “Hippie juice”, I posted a photo of it on social media … and that’s the question I got from one of my facetious friends who apparently equates Hippies with cannabis. LOL

The answer is no, there’s nothing of questionable legality in this drink. (Though I’m not opposed to cannabis either and have found great relief from anxiety as well as help with sleep using this CBD oil! It’s THC-free and totally legal in all 50 states.

I’m not one for seeing how many superfoods I can cram into one drink or smoothie. Ok, actually I am. Eating my words now.

I mean, check out my Everything Smoothie. If the name alone doesn’t tell you that I crammed just about everything nourishing under the sun in that smoothie, then I don’t know what. But let’s get back to this weed-free Green Hippie Juice, shall we?

Green Hippie Juice with MCT Oil — Detoxifying, Energizing, & Nourishing!

At certain times of year, especially spring, I find my body naturally drawn toward detoxifying foods and fresh greens — probably because spring is the season to detox the liver. Liver support is a crucial part of gut health — read more here!

Also, my body craves leafy greens after a cold winter subsisting on mostly frozen veggies since I almost live in the Arctic Circle.

I kid. Sort of.

Cravings mean the body is missing something or needs more of something. For example, when you crave chocolate, it may mean you need more magnesium. Or, cravings for oranges or peppers signal that your body might be running low on Vitamin C.

Our bodies are really amazing at letting us know what they need, if we’ll only listen. And this detoxifying, energizing, and nourishing “green” juice doesn’t disappoint.

It’s full of folate-rich dark green veggies, whole foods Vitamin C, anti-inflammatory ginger and turmeric, detoxifying lemon, and more!

Make sure you don’t leave out the fat! This drink is FULL of fat-soluble vitamins from the greens, so you don’t want to miss out by not absorbing them. Eat your greens with fat — always!

Hippie Juice’s Star Ingredients

Green Tea — It’s no secret that green tea is good for us! It’s full of antioxidants and has been shown to improve brain function, assist with weight loss, provide energy, and may even lower cancer risk. I use this green tea.

MCT Oil — Medium-chain triglycerides bypass the digestive system and are quickly processed by the liver as an easily absorbed source of fast and sustainable energy… and not just physical energy. MCTs are also a boost for your brain!

Unlike other fatty acids, MCTs can be broken down into ketones and ketones can cross from the blood to the brain. This allows MCT Oil to act as high octane brain fuel! MCT oil also supports digestion and gut health, may improve mood and mental clarity, boosts metabolism, aids in reducing body fat, promotes healthy blood sugar levels, and more!

I use this 100% organic, 100% pure MCT oil from Perfect Supplements.

Collagen Hydrolysate — Collagen made from grass-fed cows is a complete protein source. Collagen supports gut health, reduces inflammation, and promotes younger, firmer looking skin. It has dramatically increased the rate at which my hair and nails grow, too!

I use this grass-fed collagen from Perfect Supplements.

Aquatic Greens — This is a 50/50 mix of spirulina and chlorella. Spirulina is a complete protein with all eight essential amino acids. It also contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a brain healthy fatty acid that usually only occurs in breast milk. Chlorella is an excellent detoxifying agent because it binds to heavy metals, pesticides, and other wastes and eliminates them from the body.

I use this 100% organic, fair trade Perfect Aquatic Greens from Perfect Supplements.

Amla Berry Powder — This whole food provides a wonderful, bioavailable source of Vitamin C to strengthen your immune system, provide antioxidants, and fight free radicals. Vitamin C is also very detoxifying.  I use this amla berry powder.

Turmeric, ginger, cayenne, and black pepper — This combo of spices and rhizomes is insanely anti-inflammatory and even pain-relieving. These warming spices turn on your metabolism and naturally provide a boost of energy.

Wait… Can I use CBD Oil?

Hey, while we’re adding all the things to our Hippie Juice, we might as well talk about one more addition — CBD oil.

We use MedTerra’s 3,000mg CBD oil — THC-free, Kentucky-made, and totally legal in all 50 states and internationally. One-half to one full dropper can be added to your Green Hippie Juice. Although it’s listed as an optional ingredient, I highly recommend CBD oil in this drink if you have some or have ever wanted to try CBD!

Every bottle of this CBD oil is third-party tested for purity, consistency, and quality. There are just 2 ingredients: MCT oil and CBD isolate. MedTerra’s products are pesticide- and GMO-free. tasteless, odorless, and can be taken morning or night.  Learn more here!

Adding CBD oil to this drink sort of adds to the Hippie factor, don’tcha think? 😉

Is it juice or a smoothie?

I’m calling it juice only because it has more of a thinner juice-like consistency than a smoothie.

It’s NOT juice in the sense that we pull out a juicer and squeeze a bunch of liquid out of fruits and vegetables.

Green Hippie Juice is blended with a little ice, so if you want more of a smoothie consistency, blend in more ice.

I prefer the thinner, juice-like consistency, with the Hippie Juice served over ice.

Here’s how to get the most out of your Hippie Juice:

• Don’t leave out the fat. This drink is FULL of fat-soluble vitamins, so you don’t want to miss out by not absorbing them. Fat is necessary for your body to assimilate these vitamins. I use this MCT oil.
• Seed-Cycling: To support my hormone balance and reproductive health, my naturopath has me seed-cycling. During the follicular phase of my cycle (onset of menstruation til ovulation), I consume 2 tablespoons per day of raw flax seeds or sprouted, raw pumpkin seeds. Then I switch to 2 tablespoons per day of raw sesame seeds or soaked/dehydrated raw sunflower seeds during the luteal phase of my cycle (ovulation through start of the next cycle).
• Avoiding caffeine? If you’re sensitive to the small amount of caffeine in green tea, you’re avoiding caffeine completely, or you want to enjoy this drink in the afternoon or evening, use 1 cup of cold water instead of brewed green tea.
• Steam your spinach. I recommend lightly steaming spinach rather than adding it to your juice or smoothies raw. Steamed spinach is lower in oxalates than raw, making it healthier for your kidneys and thyroid. I make these Spinach Smoothie Pucks because they’re pre-steamed and pre-portioned perfectly for my smoothies and this Hippie Juice!

Since I started having this drink every morning, my energy levels have skyrocketed! Although my ashwagandha tincture nearly cleared up my brain fog, my mind is even more clear and focused after I have my morning Hippie Juice. My body LOVES these greens and antioxidants!

I even had that same facetious friend text me to see if I would make Hippie Juice for him!
