Rainbow Chard is one of my favorite plants to juice! The leaves are huge! My favorite benefit of eating this member of the beet family – is NIGHT VISION. Yes – everyone can get rid of their night vision googles if they just add rainbow chard to their diet.
This juice is not for the faint of heart because of the garlic. The garlic adds a serious bite to it the mixture. Garlic is amazing for your immunity, so don’t go get scared and leave it out. I like to have this juice before dinner when I am home for the evening and there’s a chance of vampires coming to visit. You better believe, my night vision will be on!

What kind of juicer do you use? I have been interested in trying out juicing for awhile now, but I don’t know which juicers are good or not..or really how to do it at all!!

Hi Food Babe! I discovered your page on the 100 Days site. Love your site!! I just started water with lemon and cayenne this morning, and bought some green vibrance. I’m so excited!
I’m wanting to try some of your juice recipes. I found the Hari Shake recipe that I’ll try this weekend. My question is – can I use a blender for your other juice recipes? I don’t have a juicer, but I can blend my heart away if it will work!
Thanks so much for everything!

I don’t think the recipes for the juices would come out exactly like they intended, unless you have a juicer or have a vitamix where you can squeeze the juice out of the pulp with a nut milk bag. I would really consider investing in a juicer. It has been the best thing I’ve ever added to my kitchen hands down. Once you start drinking fresh unpasteurized vegetable juice full of live enzymes and nutrients…I really feel your body actually starts to experience a whole another realm of wellness! Good Luck!
Sounds good…thanks so much for the reply! I’ll start looking for one!
love your site just found it also…started the lemon water with cayenne and just wonder if its ok to do it cold? run out the door early does heating the water make a difference….i have done the clean clense before and felt so good…now fell off the wagon….if i make the juices in the evening can i take them to work after a night in the fridge….still good for you by that time?
as far as organic milk…i used to feed it to my kids but at 4-5 gallons a week i can not afford it….i choose trader joes products most of the time….is that milk also as bad or ok to use…..help!!!
I would drink it at room temperature or warmer, since it is easier for your body to assimilate. Juices will last about 12 – 24 hours in a air tight container in the fridge if you are using a typical home juicer like breville – you definitely won’t get the same amount of live enzymes but it is still beneficial. Why not try to prep your vegetables the night before, so you can juice fresh in the morning? That’s what I do sometimes when mornings are tight.
I am not a big proponent of drinking milk, even organic. I use it very little if at all in my diet – sometimes in certain desserts and ice cream. How old are your kids? I would look into alternative sources of milk – almond, coconut, etc…
Ok you write here that Rainbow Chard gives you night vision?!? That is awesome, can you link where you got this information from? Love to learn more about it
Vitamin A
I wouldn’t cook it though….
Chard contains a large quantity of vitamin A. According to Christopher Theberge, RD, LDN on his website NAFWA, a 1/2 serving of cooked chard will provide 110 per cent of your daily recommended amount of vitamin A. Vitamin A helps protect your body against infections and also promotes healthy skin and eyes.

Hi Food Babe! I am new to your website and i am so happy i found you! So much information, so much to learn. I read that you drink water with lemon and cayenne in the morning, can you tell me how much of the ingredients i need? Thank you so much! Abd keep up the good work!:-)
Curious about something I saw in this photo… looks like you have a set of cabinets tied shut? Is this some sort of tactic to keep away from certain ingredients/items?
Ha! Yes… This was during a juice fast… that was my pantry, out of sight, out of mind
