During my research and studies I have found what is the most nutritious thing I could possibly eat or juice.
THE ANSWER:
The sprout.
There are a multiple variety of sprouts..some of the most common are alfalfa (the least expensive, but also the most beneficial!), broccoli sprouts and clover sprouts bur there are also the less common like sunflower, buckwheat, pea and fennegreek sprouts.
Some of these need to be grown in dirt and some of these can be just grown in water.
The water ones are so great because you can grow them anywhere. Like I do in a jar in my cupboard.
ANOTHER QUESTION:
Just how much more nutritious are these little miracles foods in comparison to other fruits and veggies?
THE ANSWER:
They are about 500 TIMES more powerful than their counterparts that are non sprouted.
Like we were earlier discussing the least expensive and one of the most nutritious the alfalfa sprout in particular has something called, Spinosterol. This stimulates the immune systems and activates the T-cells that fight free radicals and cancer.
So if you are trying to strengthen your immune system than adding sprouts is a number one priority.
IMPORTANT QUESTION:
What if you are a vegetarian wondering how you are going to get your protein?
THE ANSWER:
Sprouts are deceptively high in protein, they are 40%. Amazing right?!
But when you are juicing you don’t get much juice out of them so it is extremely important to wrap them in a big leafy green like swiss chard or collard or even romaine leafs; which are incredibly easy to access.

If you have a juicer that changes speed juice them on the lowest speed so that you can get the most out of your dollar.
One more QUESTION:
What if you don’t like the taste of sprouts?
THE ANSWER:
Juice them and you will still get the amazing protein and the spinosterol benefits.
