Tropical Heaven (Juice)

 

 -1 Orange

-1 Cup Strawberries

-1 Cup Pineapple

 

 

Juicing Oranges:
Remove the peel, but always leave as much of the white skin on the orange as possible. The peel will produce a very sour taste if juiced, but the white skin contains a lot of nutrition.  

  Apart from its high vitamin C content, there’s other nutrients in oranges. It is a good source of folate and a fair source of vitamin A. It is also a fair to good source of minerals such as potassium, calcium, phosphorous and magnesium. And that’s not all – oranges also contain powerful antioxidants called hesperidin and tangeritin. Both of these nutrients have been shown to have anti-cancer and heart health properties.

Fresh pineapple juice is extremely nutritious, as it contains many essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, Thiamine, vitamin B6, Manganese, Potassium, Magnesium, and even a little Calcium and protein. 

Bugs Bunny (Juice)

-2 Apples (Any kind works! Core and Remove Seeds)

-3 Large Carrots

-2 Ice Cubes

Juice the apples and carrots. Add 2 Ice Cubes to give it a chill. 

Research has revealed an apparently synergistic relationship between the carrots and apples that provides greater nutrient absorption when the apples and carrots are juiced together than when the juice of either is used alone. It is not known exactly what factors contribute to this. We do know that malic acid present in apples assists in absorption of beta-carotene in the carrots. There are, of course, many other elements derived from the juices in addition to beta-carotene. This juice is high in calcium, provides protein trace minerals and numerous other minerals, vitamins, and phytochemicals.
