Orange Juice and Kidney Stones

Juicing for Life: A Guide to the Benefits of Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Juicing

I’ve been down that road and I don’t want to go that route again. But, I guess it could have been worse. I had what was known as silent kidney stones and no one had a clue that I had a 9 mm stone until it showed up on an cat scan. So, while I had absolutely no pain, I did have to go through numerous tests just to be sure that’s what it was and then surgery to remove it. Certainly not fun.

But I just finish reading over at Eating Fabulous that studies are showing that a glass of orange juice in the morning can help to prevent them from occurring! If that’s all it takes, I’m definitely going to add oranges to my diet or make my own juice. (Don’t like the pulp) If you want to know more about the study, be sure to head over to see what Ruth has dug up!

And here is a recipe that you might like… Tropical Smoothie

Tropical Smoothie
1 banana frozen
1 orange, peeled and sectioned
1 nectarine, pitted and sliced

Toss everything into a blender and blend away. Nothing quite like it on a hot day! Almost as good as a milkshake!
