introduction

juicing is the answer

These days it is impossible toescape the fact that we need to eatat least five portions of fruit andvegetables every day to make surethat we enjoy good healththroughout our lives. Today’s busylifestyles mean that more often thannot we find ourselves grabbing foodas and when we can, giving littlethought to its nutritional content andmore to convenience and speed ofpreparation.

All research points to the fact,however, that both our long-termand short-term wellbeing dependson our being more careful aboutwhat we eat, especially when itcomes to fruit and vegetables. Weshould learn to regard food as animportant and valuable commoditythat will not only enable our bodiesto perform at their optimum best foras long as possible but alsoimprove our appearance.

five good reasons tojuice

• Juicing will help our

bodies recover from illnessand protect us againstdisease.

• Juicing can make sure thatwe get our dailyrecommended intake ofvitamins and mineralseasily.

• The folic acid found infruit and vegetablescontributes to both healthyhair and nails.

• The antioxidants in fruitand vegetables are essentialfor healthy, attractive skin.

• Juicing is a convenient andhealthful way of supportinga weight-loss programme.

nutritional benefitsFruit and vegetables are cheap andeasily available, and supermarketsand many smaller stores now offer afar wider range than ever before.Even though juicing requires

practically no preparation and verylittle clearing up, many of us stillfind ourselves opting for a bag ofcrisps or a biscuit, rather than afresh juice. Not only is there nonutritional value in junk food, butwe will need to eat it more oftenand in greater quantities in order tofeel satisfied.

It’s perfectly understandable thatmost of us will find the idea ofeating our way through a bag ofapples or a pile of green vegetablesevery day hard work, and this iswhy juicing is such an attractive

alternative: juices are quick andeasy to prepare, they are deliciousto drink, and they are satisfying andnourishing. Combining severaldifferent fruits and vegetables inyour regular juices is one of theeasiest ways of helping you achieveyour quota of at least five a day inno time at all.

why juice at home?So what is the difference betweenmaking your own juice and buying acarton? The most obviousdifference is that the nutrients

present in fresh, homemade juice farsurpass anything you can buy. Thisis because bought juice has beenpre-squeezed, packaged and usuallydiluted with water, so that many ofthe nutrients are lost along the way.There may also be additives inbought juices, includingpreservatives, whereas at home youcan be sure of exactly what you aredrinking.

Not only does homemade juicetaste better, but the nutrients can berapidly assimilated into the body.This can, in fact, be a bit of a shock

to your body because it is adetoxification process that cancause a slight headache. When youbegin to drink your own juices youmight also find that you are passingwater more often. However, onceyour body has adjusted to your newregime, the symptoms will fade andyou will feel — and look — great.

making the best juices andsmoothies

If you are a newcomer to juices andsmoothies it is best not to rush outand buy a lot of expensiveequipment. Smoothies can easily bemade in a food processor orblender. However, if you areplanning to make juices regularlyyou will find it is worth investing ina good machine.

which juicer?

There are several models of juiceron the market these days, and yourchoice will probably depend asmuch on how much you want tospend as to how effective the juicerwill be. There are two basicoptions: a masticating juicer, whichforces ingredients through a wiremesh, thereby extracting as muchjuice as possible as it does so, anda centrifugal juicer, which usesspinning blades to separate the pulpfrom the juice. The centrifugaljuicer produces less juice, but it is acheaper option for beginners.

let’s juice1 Assemble your ingredients, butdon’t prepare them until the lastminute to avoid discoloration.2 Wash or scrub ingredients thatyou are keeping whole — such ascarrots or parsnips — and peelthem only if absolutely necessary.3 Roughly chop and weigh theingredients according to the recipe.

what is a smoothie?Unlike a juice, a smoothie is madein a food processor or blender. It is

thicker than a juice, and mostinclude extra ingredients such asyogurt, honey, ice cream or milk aswell as fruit and juices. A smoothieis even quicker and easier to makethan juice because all theingredients go straight into themachine and are simply processedfor a few seconds.

One of the best ways of making areally good smoothie is to usefrozen fruits. The process offreezing means that the vitamins andnutrients are retained in the fruits,and frozen produce allows you to

enjoy seasonal fruits and vegetablesall year round. Your drink will benaturally chilled and won’t need tobe diluted with ice or chilled water.

juices & smoothies for kidsMaking sure that your children get aminimum of five fruits andvegetables a day can be a battle, butjuices and smoothies are a greatway to make sure they get all thenutrients needed for a healthy,growing body. Most kids love them,and your life will be easier if youdon’t have to try and get them to eat

broccoli.

choosing the bestingredients

There are very few fruit orvegetables that can’t be used injuices and smoothies, and althoughthe idea of eating portions ofparsnips and pineapple togethermight not fill you with enthusiasmthis combination works surprisinglywell as a juice. However, there area few firm favourites that appeartime and time again, and followingis a round-up of some of the best

fruit and vegetables.Buy organic fruit and vegetables

whenever possible to avoidresidual pesticides and wash orscrub them thoroughly before use toremove dirt and germs.

applesNot only are apples full ofantioxidants, but they have anaturally sweet flavour thatcomplements sour and savouryingredients really well. Use applesunpeeled or juice them whole,including the pips, to gain the

maximum nutritional benefit — theantioxidant quercetin, for example,is found only in the skin. Thefresher the apple the more vitaminC it will contain.

oranges and other citrus fruitsThese are one of the best sources ofvitamin C, and also one of the mostpopular mixers in juices andsmoothies. Some recipes suggestthat you remove the skin but leavesome of the pith attached to thesegments to increase the vitamincontent of your drinks.

bananasBananas are especially useful insmoothies because they help tocreate a thick, smooth, tasty drink.Bananas can be peeled, sliced andfrozen overnight to make a cooldrink the next day. They are full ofcarbohydrates and an ideal energybooster or quick snack.

strawberriesBoth beneficial and delicious,strawberries are a good source ofvitamin C, calcium and potassium.

To make the most of this universalfavourite freeze the fruits when inseason and add them to smoothiesall year round.

Pears are delicious in juices. Notonly do they combine well withother fruits and vegetables, but theyare also ideal for children becausethey rarely cause an allergicreaction. They are full of vitamin C,potassium and beta-carotene and aquick source of energy.

peachesThis fruit can be a boon if yousuffer from stomach upsets becauseof its antioxidant qualities. It is alsoa good source of vitamin C.

apricotsBoth fresh and dried apricots can beused in juices and smoothies. Driedapricots tend to be much sweeterthan the fresh fruit but they have ahigh beta-carotene and potassiumcontent.

cranberriesIf you suffer from urinary infectionscranberry juice could be theanswer. The fruits are rich invitamin C and potassium, and theyare delicious in juices, adding abittersweet flavour and vibrantcolour.

blackberriesRich in vitamin C and full ofantioxidants, blackberries are goodfor building a healthy immunesystem. The fresh fruit freezes well

and can be added to smoothies allyear round.

mangoesA mango will add an exotic flavourto drinks, and the fruit also containsa high level of vitamin C, fibre andpotassium. It is a great fruit to keepon your shopping list.

watermelonsYielding large amounts of juice,watermelons are a great antioxidant,detoxing and diuretic fruits. They

Eatavocados as soon as they are ripeas they start to lose importantantioxidants as they ripen. Cut themand remove the skin and stones atthe very last minute to avoid

discoloration.

tomatoesIt is believed that tomatoes mayhelp lower the risk of certaincancers, and this is attributed to thelycopene they contain. They arealso high in vitamin C and fibre.

Adding tomatoes to savoury juicesboosts their nutrient content andmakes them colourful.

carrotsCarrots are great energy food andare an aid to good digestionbecause of their fibre content; theyare also full of beta-carotene andalpha-carotene, and are delicious inboth fruit and vegetable juices.

spinach in a drink, but, as the sayinggoes, don’t knock it until you’vetried it. Rich in iron and beta-carotene, spinach is great forvegetarians.

beetrootBeetroot is a great source of folicacid and fibre. Surprisinglyperhaps, it is delicious whencombined with citrus fruits, makinga tangy and colourful juice.

celery

Celery is a great cleanser and isrich in phyto-nutrients. A few sticksof celery produce a good yield ofjuice, and it is much more easilydigested as juice than in its rawstate.

gingerRenowned in many traditional dietsas an immunity booster, gingerhelps to fight bugs with its highlevels of zinc. It is also said to besettling for the stomach and isparticularly useful for mothers-to-be who are suffering from morning

sickness.

live yogurtLive yogurt is a valuable source ofcalcium and vitamin D. It helps tomaintain good health, because itcontains cultures with health-givingproperties. Including yogurt in asmoothie is a good way of giving achild who doesn’t like milk acalcium boost.
