(SERVES 2)
1 PINK GRAPEFRUIT
1 APPLE
½ CARROT
½ BEETROOT
1 TSP CINNAMON
½ PINT WATER
PREPARATION & METHOD
Wash all ingredients (obvs not the cinnamon, how would you
do that). Peel the rind from the grapefruit. Put all ingredients into a juicer
(doesn’t matter what order), I use THIS ONE. Add water. Drink. NB: This tastes
amazing chilled in the fridge.
THE HEALTH BIT
Grapefruit is an excellent source of vitamin which supports
the immune system and also prevents production of cascade, therefore helping to
reduce severity of inflammatory conditions, such as asthma (which I have). The rich
pink and red colours of grapefruit are due to lycopene which fights oxygen-free
radicals; compounds that can damage cells.
Beetroot can help reduce blood pressure and contains loads
of potassium, magnesium and iron as well as vitamins A, B6 and C, and folic
acid.
Apples have lots of Vitamin C which aids collagen production.
You need collagen to aid wound-healing and to keep your skin healthy.
Carrots contain B-complex vitamins (riboflavin, thiamine,
and vitamin B-6) - these vitamins are key in maintaining red blood cells and
the nervous system in good health, they also give you energy. Carrots are also
great for your eyesight and skin.
Cinnamon helps to maintain blood-sugar levels so is great
for diabetics.
THIS JUICE IS GREAT FOR AN ENERGY BOOST THAT WON’T GIVE YOU
A MASSIVE SUGAR SPIKE AND WILL PROMOTE FABULOUS SKIN.
THE TASTE BIT
This is one of my favourites; sweet and spicy with a bit of
tang and the colour is great! Some people have said it tastes like a hot cross
bun in a drink… weird, but kind of accurate.
