Juicy Juicy Green Juice

Juicing vegetables is an easy way to increase your daily intake of important nutrients and vitamins and to introduce a variety of fruit and vegetables into your diet.

Green juices are a great addition to your everyday life as they have an alkalising effect on the body. They help promote smoother skin, a more youthful appearance, control weight in allowing the efficient elimination of wastes and improve your energy levels.

Dark green leafy vegetables are loaded with vitamins and minerals including iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium as well as vitamins K, C, E, and many of the B vitamins, playing an important role in overall health. Leafy greens also contain protein.

Here are some of my favourite green juices.

I am using a blender so I need to add water to my green juice. If you are using a juicer you might need to increase the amount of ingredients and you won’t need to add the water.
