Why Should I Juice?

Raw food and Juices are nature’s fast food, and without question the key to

optimal health, a slim body, clear skin, tons of energy and a strong immune

system, enabling us to stay disease free. Mother earth provides all we need to

live in health and harmony!

Basically, juice is the liquid and a whopping 90% of the nutrients from fruits &

vegetables. When we make fresh juices from raw ingredients, all of the

nutrients stay intact and are delivered immediately to every living cell in our

body.

Fresh fruits and veggies are full of essential enzymes which we need in order

to digest our food properly, and deliver the nutrients effectively. When we

cook food we kill these enzymes, but most of us do not wish to eat raw

veggies, so what better way to get these amazing life giving nutrients than to

juice them? And by adding some sweeter tasting ingredients, we can hide

the earthy taste of greens.

When we make fresh juices we extract only the liquid nutrition from the

vegetable or fruit and eliminate the fibre. Fibre or pulp is indigestible for us, so

without that getting in the way, the vitamins and minerals go straight to feed

our cells – magic!

Drinking raw juice is the most easily absorbable form of nourishment we can

get and the fastest route to optimal health and healing.

Enzymes are living nutrients and present in all raw organic fruits and

vegetables. Drinking juice is a great way to take advantage of viable

enzymes. Enzymes are enabling our digestion and all other metabolic

processes to work effectively; they are living proteins that direct the life force

into our basic biochemical and metabolic processes. They even help to

repair our DNA and RNA. Any form of life would not exist without enzymes!

DNA is defined as a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used

in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. RNA

molecules are involved in protein synthesis and sometimes in the transmission

of genetic information. Vital to all living beings!

Juicing For Weight Loss

Most of us could probably do with losing a few pound right? Well the good

news is -Juicing is great for weight loss, forget the diets!

Obesity is a growing and very worrying issue these days, I am sure you are

aware that it leads to debilitating health problems and rapid aging, it can

definitely be stopped right in its tracks when we begin to include fresh raw

juices in our diets.

Giving the liver a break

Juicing is beneficial for weight loss because our liver gets a break from

working so hard, we start to detoxify and burn fat naturally, great news!

So to start the day - well its lots of lemon water and I like it almost hot, my

body is grateful for the flushing.

Our liver is our prime detoxification organ, and fat burning organ too.

When we detoxify the body, we free up the liver's resources allowing it to

burn fat. While we continue to eat heavy toxic food our liver is way too busy

protecting our vital organs from poisons, it has no time to waste in burning fat!

You don't even have to do anything major here, just to include fresh juices

and good quality water in the morning is enough to get your system working

the way it should!

You can learn all about the health benefits of juicing and raw foods on my

site Raw Energy – but for now let’s get you juicing!

How To Make Great Tasting Juices

If you are just starting out and unsure how you are going to like fresh Juices,

the best way to start is with just one ingredient and let your palette adjust

slowly.

Do you like apples? Start with just apple juice, or try carrot juice, you may be

surprised how you like it. Pure Grape Juice is gorgeous.

Next start adding things like celery, cucumber or lettuce, the benefits are

huge and you can add a little more each time, your body will love you for it!

Carrot & apple is an awesome way to start and most people can cope with

that.

Carrot and apple is a good base for your green drinks.

Carrots are full of beta-carotene – the cancer fighter, and apples apart from

being full of nutrients, they help to sweep away toxins, they are known as the

intestinal broom!

When you are used to this, take it a little further, how about beets? Fantastic

for our blood, cleansing and building. Ginger -anti-bacteria, aids digestion

and builds the immune system.

Just like anything else you learn, you can follow a few recipes to start with

and then you will find your own way to adjust flavours to suit you.

Never give up if you don’t like the first one you try, if it is new it may feel

strange, but keep trying different ingredients.

These juices are life savers and you will soon start to crave them, they are the

finest fuel for your body!

Do you want mind blowing energy, clear beautiful skin, bright shining eyes,

healthy hair, nails, and bones, slim sexy body and a sharp focused mind?

Juicing is the key to all this and more – Juices are your health insurance!

Live your vibrant life.

Get Juicing!

The recipes in this book make around 16 ounces, you kind of get to know how

much to put in each time to roughly get the same amount of Juice.

These are only guides and you can leave out what you don’t like, or adjust

the amount to suit your taste, but do try to add the greens if only a little to

start with. The greens are the big health boosters and the greener the drink

the better.

I have been juicing for 20 years now and I love them all, it’s hard to

remember never liking the green side now, but I do remember being a little

horrified at the idea of putting vegetables in a drink.

I did however get used to it pretty quickly and you will too, you just have to

hide that earthy taste for a while until you get used to it.

Not all fruits go with vegetables so don’t go too mad changing those.

Pineapple is an awesome base and does a good job of hiding the greens.

Recipes;

Let us start with some easy one fruit juices….

Just Melon

Melons are relatives of cucumbers and give us the same benefits for our skin,

hair and nails, they are obviously high in water content, so they flush our

kidneys and purify the skin, this makes them perfect for anyone who leans

toward skin problems like psoriasis or eczema, these conditions usually mean

that we are a bit more than toxic, and the cleansing properties of our friend

the melon, is the perfect natural raw food medicine!

Simple, Just add as much melon as you want to your juicer and blitz away.

Get as close to the skin as possible – this is where all the best nutrients lie.

Melon is awesome, a powerful cleanser and hydrator.

Creamy Juicy Cantaloupe

The same health benefits apply to all melons, but research say’s that water

melon and cantaloupe come out the best as two of the top fruits for nutrition!

This raw food juice is just so creamy it is beautiful, not unlike peach juice, just

less expensive! You have to try it – it is simply wonderful.

Same Instructions, as much as you like, just juice it!

I like to mash and freeze raspberries in ice cube trays – add them to your

cantaloupe juice and you get even more antioxidants and a beautiful juice

that ends up looking like a sunrise.

Gorgeous Grapefruit Juice

Simple but amazing -grapefruit is very low in calories, consists of just 42

calories per 100 g. It is rich in dietary insoluble fibre pectin, which by acting as

a bulk laxative helps to protect the colon mucous membrane by decreasing

exposure time to toxic substances in the colon as well as binding to and

flushing cancer-causing chemicals in the colon.

Read the benefits of Grapefruit HERE

You can just use a citrus juicer for this – easy peasey!

Ok on to some awesome green drinks …

Cooling Cucumber

There are no rules for quantity of ingredients in this juice, just your preference

of taste; it is different every time I make it, sometimes more lemon, sometimes

more celery an amazing cleanser, it is just wonderful for our hair, skin and

nails. My morning Raw Green juice always contains cucumber! A highly

alkalizing Green Juice.

Page 13: 25 Free Juice Smoothie Recipes

Ingredients;

a whole cucumber

half a lemon - more cleansing

1-2 sticks of celery – more water and minerals

A couple of mint leaves.

Oh and of course a little sprig of mint to make it look pretty and feel even

more - Amazingly refreshing!

Pack your mint leaves between the celery and cucumber to get the most

from them.

Regular juicing of cucumber over a period of time will produce outstanding

results; you will be amazed by the condition of your hair, skin and nails all a

result of the awesome inner cleansing it gives us.

Taste of Italy

Ingredients;

Organic tomatoes (I used cherry toms)

Large handful of spinach

I used 1 large parsnip

2 – 4 celery sticks (love celery)

Good spoonful of fresh organic basil leaves (great antioxidants)

Wash your veggies (keep the skin on the parsnips) and pack spinach and

basil between celery and parsnips so as to get the most juice from them.

If you don’t fancy this mix, try it with apples and mint-leave out the toms and

basil - gorgeous. Read the full benefits HERE

Good Morning Green Juice

This is one of my old favourite’s, so gorgeous; I always want more of this

morning green juice!

Ingredients;

I apple (add another if you want it sweeter)

3 slices of pineapple

handful of spinach

parsley

few romaine lettuce leaves

2 sticks of celery

juice of 1/2 lime

If you have a good juicer and your pineapple is organic, then leave the skin

on if you wish – lots of goodies in and close to the skin, otherwise peel as close

to the skin as possible. Pack the soft leafy greens between the fruits and juice

away.

Velvet Green Juice

Oh, I love this Super Creamy Green Juice! It is loaded with good greens but

you would never know, even my other half gave me frown saying he could

taste no greens.

You can add whatever greens you like or what you have in the fridge for this

Green Juice – spinach, kale and parsley are what I use daily along with

usually – cucumber and garden greens like dandelion and rocket – whatever

is growing.

Page 17: 25 Free Juice Smoothie Recipes

www.rawfoodenergybenefits.com – Copyright Material

The amount of kale depends on the size of your leaves and your taste. If you

don't have kale, try any other dark leaf. I love kale!

Go easy on the parsley - it has a strong taste - so add a little and taste before

adding more - never drink parsley juice on its own - it is a very powerful

cleanser.

Ingredients;

1 Ripe mango (yep that is what makes it creamy velvet & hides the

greens)

handful of spinach

handful of kale

small handful of parsley (strong flavour)

1 apple

squeeze of lemon

Put the greens between your mango and apple to get the most juice from

them.

Green Haphazard!

This is called the ‘haphazard’ because it came about by mistake! My head

was so busy elsewhere I got carried away! Even the pic is haphazard!

Ingredients;

Made about 20 ounces (serves 2)

2 green apples

2 large carrots

chunk of cucumber

about 1 inch of broccoli stem and a flower

1 stick of celery with leaves (if you have them still on the celery)

handful of spinach

few lettuce leaves (romaine is best)

Page 19: 25 Free Juice Smoothie Recipes

19 Juice & Smoothie Recipes

www.rawfoodenergybenefits.com – Copyright Material

handful of herbs or wild greens (mine was rocket, parsley, if you don’t

like tasting the greens just choose one and try adding a little more

each time)

small slice of fennel

chunk of beet root (mine was half of a small beet)

1/2 a small ripe avocado

thick slice of pineapple

good squeeze of lemon and lime

Well I didn’t mean to put the pineapple and the avocado in, I would

normally just pick one of those, but I am so glad I did!

Juice all but the avocado (and chia if using) Put the avocado and ground

chia in your blender, add some of the juice and blend until smooth. Sprinkle

with ground chia or cinnamon.

Well there are so many benefits with this green drink recipe; firstly there are so

many flavours here that it is easy to hide the taste of ‘green’!

If you are OK with the taste of greens, then whack them in, they undoubtedly

are the #1 for health, if you don't like them I promise you will in time, and you

really can hardly taste them! Just add what you can, and increase slowly.

Smoothies

Mango & Coconut Smoothie Delicious!

I ripe mango

water from one coconut (you could use plain if you prefer)

about 1 cup of frozen coconut

sprinkle of cacao

fresh water (about 1/2 a cup depending how thick you like your

Smoothie is sweet enough but I don't have a sweet tooth.

So in your blender, mango first with water, whiz up until smooth, add more

water if it is too thick for you, and then if you have a blender that can handle

it - add frozen coconut, whiz for a few seconds & Voilà - Pour into your glass

and sprinkle with cacao or cinnamon. Raspberries are a delicious addition to

the Mango & Coconut Smoothie Delicious.

Easy Raw Almond Milk

All you need -

• 1 cup of raw Almonds (soaked overnight)

• 2 -3 madjool dates

• 3 cups of filtered water

• Vanilla (optional)

• A nut milk bag for straining

Be sure your Almonds are Raw and not roasted, roasted almonds do not

produce - Raw Almond milk!

Many smoothie recipes use cow’s milk – not a healthy option. If you love

smoothies with milk, try nut milks instead – so much better for you.

All nuts are nutritionally dense and give us healthy fats too.

It is essential to soak nuts before we use them; they contain enzyme inhibitors

which make them difficult for us to digest.

See article here - Why We Need To Soak Nuts

Page 36: 25 Free Juice Smoothie Recipes

36 Juice & Smoothie Recipes

www.rawfoodenergybenefits.com – Copyright Material

Soaking our nuts and seeds can take a little extra time or thought before we

make something, but it’s well worth it for the health benefits, and when we

get more accustomed to high raw, it becomes habit to think ahead.

Soaking nuts provides;

• Release of Enzyme inhibitors

• Double the amount of protein

• Double the amount of nutrition

• Break down allows easier digestion

• Break down allows more absorption of nutrition in the body

• Unlock Mother Nature’s Gifts!

How To Make Raw Almond Milk

If you want to add salt to your Almond milk according to your taste (some

people do some don’t) please make it Himalayan or Malvern rock salt.

You will be using about 3 cups of water for every 1 cup of Raw Almonds. Soak

overnight in enough water to cover with a little more to provide room for

swelling.

Rinse Raw Almonds with clean pure water and you’re ready to go.

In your blender or food processor, use 3 parts water to 1 part Almonds and

dates if using - blend until nuts are pureed as much as possible.

If you are using dates process a little first to allow for easier blending with the

nuts.

If you want creamier or thicker liquid, simply experiment with less water, &for

thinner, a little more water.

Strain through a nut milk bag, reserve the pulp, you can dry or freeze this and

save for making biscuits/cookies.

Some people prefer not to strain at all, they like the texture as it is - not for me!

You can add pure raw vanilla powder (or vanilla extract) or other flavouring

of your choice but try to stay Raw, don’t take away the pure good value of

this milk by adding processed junk!

Page 37: 25 Free Juice Smoothie Recipes

And of course your Almond Milk can be used where ever you would normally

use dairy milk.

Experiment with other nuts too, I make a lot of almond milk but I love hazel

nuts and they make a great tasting warm drink with Maca to replace coffee.

My Favourite Raw Milk Shake

My favourite raw milk shake - after straining the nut milk, I whizzed up for a

few seconds with a handful of raspberries ----------- Whaw Yum!

Oh and Bonus - Kids love this especially when they make it themselves :)
