Starting your day with a glass of nutrient-packed juice is perfect.
Freshly juiced vegetables and fruit are easily digested by your body and quickly absorbed, making this a very efficient way to get lots of nutrients into your body to kickstart your day.
Use a juicer to make your favourite combination from a range of organic vegetables such as celery, cucumber, kale, broccoli, spinach and fruits like apples and citrus.
Adding flavours like ginger, fennel, etc, ensures no end of flavour possibilities!
Here are some healthy juicing tips:
- Be sure to add plenty of vegetables to your juice ingredients to balance the sugar content of fruits and increase the range of vitamins and minerals.
- Organic produce is always best, and you do not need to peel organic ingredients such as carrots.
- If you can’t always find organic produce, be sure to wash produce thoroughly and peel ingredients like carrots and cucumbers.
- Put aside any preconceptions you may have and experiment with flavours and ingredients! Even if you don’t love the flavour of one healthy ingredient, it is easily masked in a juice!
