Juices are healthy AND tasty

Juices are healthy AND tasty - choose vegetables that you enjoy in their whole form, and try them as a juice.

During the last several years, juicers have replaced blenders in many kitchens. And for a nation that spends billions a year in fast food restaurants, that’s a very good thing indeed!

Juicing is a super “scrub” for your insides, reaching all the way down to the cellular level, in a way no other cleanser can. It can also boost the immune system and provides energy to the body.

Start with the vegetables you like un-juiced; remember you can eat the pulp as a great source of additional fiber. The darker green the vegetable, the better it is for you, even though it takes some getting used to! Most people love carrot juice, but beware—it’s full of natural sugars, as are most vegetables that grow underground, and can wreak havoc on insulin levels.

You can add fats and proteins to your juice for increased nutritional value. Pumpkin or flax seeds, garlic and cod liver oil or fish oil are excellent sources of fat and protein. There are other add-ins, such as coconut, lemons and ginger that will make your juice more palatable and give it some interesting flavour.

Make sure you start with quality organic produce – the juice is only as good for you as what goes into it to start. Drink the juice immediately after juicing as it loses its nutritional value quickly and is perishable. And be sure to thoroughly clean your juicer to prevent mold from accumulating in it.
