  • RECIPE: Muscle Mary Juice

    Muscle Mary (Strong Bones) – Makes around 800ml

    Classic flavour combinations make this tempting to shove a shot of vodka in it! High levels of vitamin K (bone production & maintenance) feature from carrots, tomatoes, celery, coriander and cucumber.

    Coconut water adds minerals; magnesium, potassium, and manganese which all have bone benefits. This juice is packed with anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer benefits too, making this a good all-rounder!

    Ingredients

    6 carrots

    1 lemon, sliced into wedges, skin on

    2 big tomatoes

    2 celery sticks

    ½ bunch coriander (15g)

    ½ cucumber

    120ml coconut water

    garnish (optional); cracked mixed peppercorns, garlic powder (even powdered garlic is beneficial to our immune system)

     

  • RECIPE: Juicy Greens Anti-Oxidant Skin Tonic

    Greens (Cooling Anti-Oxidant Skin Tonic)

    Makes around 500ml

    Spinach, lettuce, cucumber, mint, and parsley are all cooling foods. Combined with electrolyte buzzing coconut water makes this anti-oxidant tonic really refreshing and re-hydrating.

    High in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Folic Acid and B-vitamins! This one is my favourite of all three, and could also be made in a food processor if you don’t have a juicer. Just squeeze the lime juice in instead!

     

    Ingredient

    2 handfuls spinach

    1 head romaine lettuce

    1 lime

    ½ cucumber

    30g mint

    30g parsley

    150ml coconut water

    optional- Sea Buckthorn powder by Arctic Power Berries (adds a citrus tang and even more anti-oxidants!)
