Raw Juice for Healthy Living

Today is the 1st Day of Spring, a perfect opportunity to embrace the season by incorporating an array of fresh fruits and vegetables into your daily diet.

Raw fruit and vegetable juices are widely regarded as incredibly rich sources of essential vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Due to their minimal need for digestion, these juices are swiftly absorbed into the bloodstream, offering a quick boost of nutrients. If you are considering altering your dietary choices, selecting particular raw fruits and vegetables can significantly enhance your immune system or aid a loved one facing health concerns. Introducing freshly prepared juices into your routine at home can promptly improve your well-being. Investing in a quality power juicer is a wise choice for maximizing the health benefits derived from consuming these nutrient-packed juices.

While making juices, you will inevitably end up with leftover pulp, which is an absolutely ideal ingredient for creating flavorful soup bases, delicious muffins, and more. Don’t let it go to waste - get creative with how you reuse it!

I highly recommend including cruciferous vegetables like brussel sprouts, cauliflower (including its leaves), broccoli, and kohlrabi in your juice blend. Not only do these vegetables provide exceptional nutritional benefits, but they also contribute a delightful depth of flavor to your drink.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 orange, peeled and cut up

• 1 lemon, peeled and cut up

• 20 g fresh turmeric, peeled

• 30 g fresh ginger, peeled and chopped

• 1 bunch kale, washed and chopped

• 1 large English cucumber

• 4 celery sticks, washed and chopped

• 2 large tomatoes or 10 small baby tomatoes

• 2 pears, washed and cut up

• 2 apples, washed and cut up

• 2 cups fresh Brussel sprouts, washed

• 1 avocado, pureed

• 1 cup green parts from fresh cauliflower

Instructions:

1. Juice the produce: Run all fresh fruits and vegetables through your high-powered juicer, except for the kale and avocado.

2. Blend the greens: Place the kale and avocado into the blender. Pour in a portion of your freshly made juice to moisten the ingredients, then blend until completely smooth. Add the mixture to freshly prepared juice.

3. Save the pulp: Collect all leftover pulp from the juicer. Store it to use as a nutrient boost in future recipes like soups, muffins, or cakes.

Serving & Storage

• Stir well before serving: Fresh juice naturally forms a thin layer of bubbles on top. Give it a quick stir with a spoon to blend them back in.

• Drink fresh: For maximum flavor and nutrient absorption, consume the juice promptly after preparation.

• Refrigerate leftovers: Store any remaining juice in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Cheers to your health! ❤️🍋
