Belly settler

The first juice of the new week was one to settle my stomach… after a weekend of over-indulgence I decided it was time for a bit of TLC and after finding this recipe on a juicing website I decided to give it a go. The ingredients are all everyday foods so they shouldn’t be difficult to find and you may find you already have everything (as I found I did)!

I am already a fan of carrot juice (as you may have already deduced as a savvy blog reader) so this recipe was always going to be a popular one! The apples and spinach are just an added bonus, on the taste and health benefit front.

As you probably already know carrots are high in beta-carotene, very good for eye-sight and apples are high in phytonutrients which are good at lowering the risk of chronic age-related ailments such as reducing the risk of getting some cancers. Finally spinach is rich in carotenoids and flavonoids which are powerful antioxidant protection.

That should be enough health benefit waffling so on to the recipe.

Ingredients you will need:

5 carrots

2 apples

12 spinach leaves

Instructions:

Peel and chop all the ingredients and blitz in the juicer. Serve and enjoy!

Orange dream

This week I am going to introduce you to another mouthwateringly good juice. So get your veg together and start blitzing!

At the moment I seem to have a very savoury tooth so once again we will be juicing up a vegetable treat.

Just to confuse you this juice has no orange in it (however much the title suggests it) but is kind of orange in colour. However it does contain lots of lovely carrots, after drinking this you’ll be able to see in the dark!

This little orange number contains celery (good for lowering bad cholesterol), carrots (contain beta-carotene, good for your eyes) and garlic (helps lower blood pressure).

Although the colour of this juice is not particularly appetizing, once you’ve braved it and taken a sip you mouth is like WOW! how could something that colour taste so delicious?

Now, on to the juicing…

Ingredients you will need:

3 large carrots

2 sticks of celery

1 clove of garlic

  Instructions:

Roughly chop the veg (you don’t need to bother with the garlic clove) then juice in a juicer and enjoy!
