Spring time is an awesome time for you to load up on your greens!

The weather’s warming up, the days are getting longer & it’s the perfect time to fuel your body with detoxifying and immune boosting wholefoods!

Juices – as opposed to smoothies – take out all the indigestible fibre, allowing the vital nutrients from the produce to be released into your blood stream straight away.

This gives your digestive system a well deserved break + allows you to consume a HEAP more veggies than if you were to eat them whole (or if you were to blend them into a smoothie).  

Now generally speaking, our juices are very low in fruit, as we try to stick to around 80% greens & 20% fruit…

But there’s something about the warmer weather that makes you want to smash down a whole platter of fruit and then some…yes? So our spring time juice not only contains beautiful detoxifying greens.

It also packs a nice punch of immune boosting fruit! 

+ as a nice bonus… It’s an AWESOME juice to serve up at dinner parties or lunches because it’s got a beautiful apple & citrus taste to it!

Alright – so let’s take a look at the ingredients and show you why this juice is awesome!

Silverbeet: It’s an awesome source of vitamin K, A, C, magnesium, copper & manganese. It also contains lutein & zeaxanthin, 2 carotenoids that play huge roles in eye health! Another awesome thing about silverbeet is that it’s rich in chlorophyll – a super powerful detoxifier that boosts liver function & acts as a blood builder

Kale: Kale is another amazing source of vitamins K, A & C PLUS it contains powerful cancer fighting & detoxifying compounds called isothiocyanates

Ginger: Ginger boosts immune function, provides effective pain relief & has strong anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps to increase insulin sensitivity & can have a huge impact on blood sugar levels which is important for keeping diabetes at bay.

Tangerine:  Tangerines are AWESOME sources of vitamin C, important for immune function as well as hair, skin & nail health. They also contain tangeritin, a compound with antibacterial properties that also acts as an antioxidant. Tangerine also contains fibre, which is important for gut health & healthy digestion.

Apple: Apples are good sources of vitamin C & are packed with fibre & polyphenols that contain antiviral, anti-inflammatory & anticancer benefits.

Pretty sweet right? (Literally!)
