Fruits, Veggies, and Their Benefits!
Citruses Fruits like oranges, grapefruit, lemons and limes contain vitamin C which can help prevent colds. Lemons also release toxins from your body.
Greens Make sure you have at least one type of green in your juice! Celery helps regulate your body’s Ph balance and has a lot of potassium. Parsley contains b12 and iron. Greens like kale and spinach are the powerful ones. They carry a heavy amount of minerals and vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin C. The more color in green, the more business they mean!
Berries These will help the taste of your juice! Blueberries and cranberries are high in antioxidants. Cranberries also have Vitamin C and fiber. Strawberries boost immunity and fight bad cholesterol.
Carrots These are sweet and contain Vitamin E! This will help with your eyes and skin. Carrots also help boot your immune system.
Apples and Bananas Apples are a great way to add sweetness! I always add apples or apple juice to my smoothies. Bananas have ton of potassium which gives you energy.
Ginger This is so good for you! Ginger helps break down foods and reduces inflammation. It improves your digestive system. It also gives you a boost of energy!
