Apples are extremely rich in important antioxidants, flavonoids and dietary fiber.

The “Good Green” Juice
The “Good Green” Juice
This is the first of this weeks Juices. You’ll need a juicer, check out our post about juicing here.
Good Green: (serves 2)
- 2 Handfuls of Spinach and Broccoli
- 4 Medium size Carrots
- 2 Whole Granny Smith Apples
- 1/2 Small Lemon
- 1 Peeled Orange
With a good juicer all you need to peel is the orange. Do not peel the lemon, you’ll get a lot of nutrients from the lemon zest, the juicer will do the rest.
Enjoy!

The great thing with having a Juicer is that you can mix any fruit or vegetable together and really get creative in the kitchen! It’s so quick that if a juice isn’t as good as you thought it would be, you’re literally just 1 minute away from creating a new one or adding a new fruit could make a big difference, making the end result taste delicious! Warning, after trying a juicer you will get addicted to juicing!! 😛
They say 5 a day, this juice will give you all that in one drink! It makes 1 liter (4 cups) so there’s enough for everyone! You can store the juice in the fridge for 7 hours, or the juice will lose it’s nutrients. You already have a juicer so you can make a new one later, that’s whats so great!
You’ll need:
- 2 Navel Oranges
- 1 Mandarin Orange
- 1 Pear
- 1 Apple
- 1/3 Beetroot
- 1/2 Lemon
All you have to do is wash the fruits, peel the navel and mandarin oranges, everything else can go with the peel on. Put the apple first and end with the beetroot and just watch your drink turn wine red, drop some ice cubes in so it’s nice and cool. You’ll really taste the lemon and I promise you this will taste so much better than the lemonade you buy at your local grocery store.
Juicing
Juicing is amazing!
By juicing you feed your body with a WHOLE LOT of nutrients and vitamins! If you don’t like eating fruits and vegetables every day, try drinking it! It’s great, you can make your own juice super quick, no problem!
It is important to have the correct juicer though, Philips have had the best juicers on the market for many years now, the three most popular juicers are:
1. Philips Juicer HR1861
2. Philips Avancer HR1871 or HR1869
3. Philips HR1863, from the Viva Collection. This is just a smaller version of the Avancer.
They are all super easy to clean, it only takes 2 minutes. SERIOUSLY! They all have a wide tube so you can fit almost any fruit or vegetable through the tube. The Avancer has an XXL tube and that literally takes anything! The great thing about these juicers you only have to peel the citrus fruit (exept lemons & limes) anything else goes with the peel still on! You can’t juice bananas! They can only go in the blender
I’ve had a look at all the three juicers and I prefer the design of the Avancer, because it looks nicer and you can see the juice being made and the compost is hidden below out of sight.
