Empowerment comes from within. It’s the force that propels you toward your dreams and desires. As Swami Rama, the great yogi and founder of the Himalayan Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy, said, “Human beings have forgotten that all things happen deep within before they appear on the physical and mental levels. We must understand our inner skills and...use them as much as possible in order to ensure perfect health.”

Do you need energy? Drink a glass of carrot juice to give your body energy and vitality while simultaneously cleansing your liver. What's so wonderful about carrots is their normalizing effect on the body. Dry skin, dermatitis, and skin blemishes are indicators of a deficiency within the body of the rich, vital nutrients you will find in good-quality carrots. 

 SpaJuiceBar's Juice Tip of the Week highlights dandelion, a powerful herb. I am so grateful for dandelion, one of nature's most valuable plants for our body. Who would have thought that this powerful herb, often found growing on the side of the road or removed from flower beds, could offer such an abundance of nutrients? Dandelion is a potent herb that helps counteract hyperacidity by increasing alkalinity within the body.

I made this salad a few days ago, refreshingly light and with just the right amount of zest for a perfect summer food pairing experience. This salad pairs beautifully with a cold glass of carrot orange juice or a honey dew melon juice infused with lemongrass, yum!! 

What makes this pairing delicious is the perfect balance of citrus flavors found in both the salad dressing and the juices. The juices facilitate a vibrancy enhancing the dining experience.  As the watermelon complements the peppery arugula with a perfectly balance of bright freshness to the spicy green, the cheese provides just the right amount of saltiness to quicken the satisfying burst of flavor provided by the watermelon.  Try the combination of juices with this salad for a perfect summer dining experience.  Recipe to try: Arugula Watermelon Salad, Food Network

Raw Juice & Food Pairing Experience!

We can only describe the recipe as refreshing and tasty. The recipe comes from one of my favorite chef’s, Chef Allen, Aventura, FL. His food is sensational. This salad is perfect for the summer, and it's simply refreshing. You can pair the Watermelon & Lychee Salad with pear and mint juice; star fruit, pear, tarragon juice or a light cool and refreshing pressed grape juice with watermelon to accent the salad beautifully. If you choose to continue the theme of the dish, a watermelon lychee juice will be finer than wine. The salad is a light fulfilling, wonderfully tasty experience to enjoy during the summer heat. Recipe to try:  Watermelon & Lychee Salad
