Green juice is all the rage and so incredibly good for you.The NutriBullet extracts all fresh ingredients’ goodness into it’s most nutritious, absorptive state, turning our food into superfood. Juicing can remove the fibres and blending can leave behind chunks… this is just so much better. This little bullet is so powerful it busts open seeds, cracks through stems, and shreds tough skin.
It comes with an extractor blade and a milling blade, 1 tall cup and lid and 2 short cups and lids, a recipe book in case you need some inspiration.Change of season can sometimes lower our immune systems and I’m determined to keep healthy by drinking this Hulk combination, that tastes delicious.
Ingredients:
Broccoli
Spinach
Cucumber
Celery
Apple (just for some sweetness)Broccoli’s high in Vitamin C, A, Folic acid, calcium and fiber. It’s fantastic in controlling high blood pressure and preventing heart disease. It’s also high in beta-carotene, which is great for eyesight.
Spinach is high in beta-carotene, great for eyesight and reduces the risk of cataracts. It’s also high in iron, potassium and fibre. Spinach, raw or juiced is a fantastic source of Vitamin C and a strong antioxidant. It also contains lipoic acid, which helps antioxidants Vitamin C and E regenerate and regulates blood sugar levels.
Cucumber is actually an incredible superfood that we often forget about. It’s rich in Vitamin B, which is an instant mood lifter and helpful for those with depression. Cucumbers are 95% water so they are great at rehydrating your body and act as a natural diuretic. They are strong cancer fighters. Cucumber juice contains a hormone that is needed by the cells in the pancreas for producing insulin, which has been super beneficial to those with diabetes. They are rich in magnesium, potassium and fibre, vitamin A, B1, B6, C, D, folate, calcium and is an excellent source of silica, which promotes healthy joints and strengthens our connective tissue. Those with arthritis need to increase their cucumber intake.
Celery reduces inflammation from joint pains, lung infections and asthma. It also helps those with acne. Feeling stressed? Celery will help as it has so many minerals, especially magnesium and an essential oil that helps sooth and calm the nervous system. It regulates the body’s alkaline balance. I like to call it crunchy water – it rehydrates, acts as a diuretic and aids digestion. Celery reduces the bad cholesterol, can combat cancer and can actually be an aphrodisiac as it has pheromones that boost your arousal levels.
Green apples have great fibre, which aids in digestion and decreases your risk of colon cancer. They reduce your liver problems, are high in antioxidants and can control your appetite. They are high in vitamin A, B, C and E.
Now, I must let you know that the NutriBullet cup has a Maximum Line and this is where your ingredients should go up to. I filled the cup up for photo purposes, but the veggies should only go to the Maximum Line or it won’t blend properly.
Reminder: Only put ingredients up to the Maximum Line |
All that goodness in one glass was super delicious and it kept me energised for hours.
