Cold Pressed Juice & Juicing

Recently after watching Joe Cross' "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead"; a documentary which is dedicated to spreading the word about the advantages of juice cleansing. I decided to put more effort into creating fresh, cold pressed juices each day. In order to add more nutrients in my own diet I have been experimenting with both different flavours and combinations, and I have already started experiencing the benefits! Juicing is a perfect way re-hydrate and re-energize by adding extra nutrients into your diet that might otherwise often prove difficult to incorporate.

In the hope of carrying out my own juice cleanse in the near future I have come up with recipes that aim to increase the concentration of nutrients without jeopardising the flavour. Although they are not completely vegetable based, these juices are a tasty starting point for someone (like me) whose taste buds have not yet fully adapted to the vegetable world.
