I have been trying out some juice recipes recently and this one is my favourite just now, It's called the Super Boost juice because it gives me a boost of energy afterwards.
I never fully appreciated juicing before, now I understand how beneficial it can be. It is such a quick and easy way to get so many nutrients and vitamins into our body. I have noticed a boost in my energy levels since juicing. It is a great way to add more vegetables and fruit into our diet. Even on a bad day when I am struggling for energy I can still manage to make a juice, as I know how much better I will feel afterwards. Juices can be very simple with just a few ingredients or can have a lot of ingredients. It's a good way to sneak in things you don't normally have. For me I would never eat pineapple normally but I enjoy it in this juice.
Ingredients:
Half a pineapple (with the skin removed)
3/4 Gala Apples
Celery Stick
Handful of Spinach
2 inch chunk of cucumber
Wedge of lime
Half an Avocado
Ice Cubes
Method:
Slice the Pineapple and Apples into smaller pieces that will easily fit into the juicer. Place all the ingredients apart from the avocado into the juicer.
You will also need a blender/smoothie maker.
Pour juice into blender, Squeeze the juice from the lime, Scoop the avocado out of the skin and add into the blender and add ice cubes. Blend on full power for 1 minute.
I use the Philips viva juicer-hr183251-400w-green which was on offer for about £40. I love how it looks and is very simple to use. All the pieces come apart easily to clean as well. Any kind of juicer will work though you can find them from about £20 upwards.
It turns into this lovely green colour, which I was unsure about at first. However it tastes so good. The avocado adds a creaminess to it and the squeeze of lime juice add a kick.
It makes a litre of juice which I store in the fridge for a couple of days.
