Juice Your Way Slim

Warmer weather is upon us and we can’t hide our ‘winter coat’ under a big sweater anymore. Its time to dust off the juicer and get juicing! Not only is juice wonderfully nutritious but its also very detoxifying and makes for the perfect pre-breakfast drink or snack in between meals! You can also do a juice cleanse where you drink juice, and only juice alone for 3-5 days. Drinking freshly pressed juice makes your cells very happy and encourage them to release the toxins they are holding. There are many juice companies out there offering these cleanses; just be sure that its fresh pressed, organic and raw!

Why is juicing so great?

• Juicing helps you to reach the optimal amount of fruits and veggies with ease!
• Juicing encourages the proper absorption of nutrients.
• Allows you to consume a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, outside of your regular routine. Ie: beets
• Extracting the juice allows you to get the maximum nutrition from fruits and veggies because they are raw.
• You can get really creative and make your own combinations of juice
• Juicing can be very detoxifying for the body especially beet juice!
• Regular juicing naturally boosts your energy levels without the use of stimulants.
• Juicing can help you to get that ever so desirable radiant glow!

Try having a juice first thing in the morning before breakfast or as a snack between meals. You will never get bored of juicing because the possibilities are endless! Here are a few of my favourite combinations for detoxing the body and shedding pounds!

• 2 carrots, half a beet, 2 stalks of celery and a small apple.
• 3 kale leaves, 1 handful of baby spinach, half of a cucumber, half of a lemon (always peel citrus fruits)
• 2 beets, small piece of ginger, 1 small apple
• 1 large orange, 2 carrots, 2 stalks of celery
