Cassandra Bodzak shares her radiance green juice and a radiant heart meditation. Give yourself a few extra minutes in the morning, and you’ll enjoy the benefits for the whole day.
Roald Dahl famously said, “If you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”
I couldn’t agree more.
Beauty starts from within and permeates outward. Thinking thoughts that nourish your soul and eating foods that nourish your body are more effective than the most luxurious makeup money can buy.
You can’t fake true radiance.
This juice is packed with nutrients that will get you glowing from the inside out! Pineapple juice promotes healthy skin and helps prevent acne; watercress is also great for your overall health with its high levels of vitamin C; and cucumber has cooling and moisturizing properties.
Here’s the radiance green juice recipe from Cassandra’s book: Eat With Intention.
Radiance Green Juice
Ingredients
- ½ cup organic watercress
- 2 cucumbers peeled
- 2 limes peeled
- 1 cup organic pineapple chunks
Instructions
- Starting with the watercress, juice all the ingredients into a large glass.
- Lightly stir and serve immediately
Notes
Radiant Heart Meditation: My beauty radiates from within
In this exercise, we are going to pull energy into our heart center and allow it to saturate every cell of our being, filling us with light and allowing our inner radiance to pour outward as it overflows.
Try this meditation early in the morning and then enjoy your radiance green juice.

Begin by sitting in easy pose and breathing long and deep.
Close your eyes and focus on your heart center while using your hands to slowly and steadily pull the energy surrounding you into your heart. Your hands should stay at heart height and move from the sides of your body inward, as if you are catching a ball and bringing it into your heart.
Feel the light in your heart expand and grow brighter with each motion.
Continue for at least 3 minutes, gradually building up to 11 minutes.
Take a deep breath in and bring your hands into your heart, right palm on top of left.
Feel the energy pulsing through your heart center and allow it to distribute throughout your entire being.
Imagine it filling up each cell with its loving light energy.
Exhale.

Jesus Williams says
When you include juicing in your diet, you are nourishing your body with antioxidants, and essential vitamins and minerals. Your skin, hair and nails will reflect a healthful radiance, and you will get a boost of energy as you consume lots of fresh juice. Combine your juicing routine with regular exercise, lots of water, and a balanced diet and you can maintain these effects.
