Everything's Dandy Detoxifying Juice

There is really nothing like a fresh & sunny, bright & yummy juice to get you going in the morning, especially when it’s homemade.

Yes, juicing takes a bit of prep and cleanup, but it’s so worth it. The juice craze has swept San Diego, with new bars popping up everywhere — and while they’re tempting, $8–$10 a juice quickly adds up. Rather than spend $50 a week, I decided to dust off my juicer and bring the habit back home.

I’d been wanting to return to juicing and clean eating in the new year. After canceling my CSA in the fall, I missed that connection to local produce, so when a coworker organized a Farmer’s Market Box delivery from Specialty Produce, I jumped in. For $35, I received a huge haul — including a $15 juicing bag packed with oranges, celery, limes, white carrots, and dandelion greens — plenty for a week of fresh, energizing juices.

Dandelion greens are a powerhouse for cleansing and renewal — often called the ultimate detox green. Rich in calcium, iron, and antioxidants, they support liver, kidney, and gallbladder health, promote digestion, and help reduce bloating and inflammation. In short, these humble greens pack a serious nutritional punch.
