If you’re anything like me and indulged over the Christmas period they you may be feeling like a much needed ‘detox’ \/ ‘nutrient boost’. Our bodies naturally ‘detox’ themselves on a daily basis (so there’s no need to go on any crazy diets), however cutting down on junk\/chocolate etc. doesn’t harm anyone! And when it comes to nutrients nothing is better for your body than plenty of colour.. think fruits and veggies to truly nourish your body from the inside out.<\/p>\n

These juices are a great addition to your day – either with your meals, for example with breakfast or between them. Juices are a way of ADDING nutrients to your diet.. they are NOT designed to replace your meals (and I do NOT promote juice detox diets.. check out my friend Helen’s post on juicing for weight loss<\/a> for more information).<\/p>\n

This orange citrus juice is an immune boosting juice. It is rich in antioxidants and vitamins C and A, and combines both vegetables and juice to provide slow release energy to keep you fuelled and hydrated between meals.<\/p>\n

\n
Ingredients:<\/strong>\u00a04 carrots, 2 satsumas and 1 red apple.<\/li>\n
Method:<\/strong>\u00a0Place all of the ingredients into your juicer, juice them and stir before serving!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

GREEN TOPICAL JUICE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\n
This green juice recipe tastes AMAZING! And it was even loved by my friend who dislikes pineapple AND spinach. It’s the ultimate healthy digestion juice recipe (thanks to the pineapple), and is packed with vitamins A and C.<\/p>\n
\n
Ingredients:<\/strong>\u00a05 pineapple rings (or 1 cup of pineapple\/165g), 1 medium conference pear, 1 carrot (using these 3 ingredients alone makes the juice bright orange!) and 2 handfuls of spinach which turns the juice a lovely pale green.<\/li>\n
Method:<\/strong>\u00a0Place all of the ingredients into your juicer, juice them and stir before serving!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
(this juice honestly tastes better than it looks and has a lovely sweet taste to it thanks to the blend of fruit with the veggies!)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
