Hey lovely people.
I can't believe its Wednesday already, so much to do, so little time.
This is by far, my most eventful two weeks.
So much happening in my life and those of my loved ones, two babies born, friend getting married, family visiting, planning so much, etc.
All in all I give thanks. This is way better than being idle.
Okay now to business, I'm still juicing!! Yes I even woke up earlier today to make this one.
I was rushing out of the door right after so I put it in a jar and carried it to work. Awesome and simple!!
Ingredients:-
Frozen mixed berry concentrate [blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, red currant, black currant]
1 kiwi
2 tangerines
Start of by washing your fruits and chopping them up. Place in blender and blend until smooth and thick. This takes only 1-2 minutes if not less.
Serve in a glass or in your glass jar if you're storing or carrying like I did.
Enjoy!
Did a little research online so here are the benefits of this juice:-
- A glass of watermelon juice everyday could reduce the risk of acquiring or worsening diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma and colon cancer. Furthermore, since a watermelon is rich in antioxidants, it can preempt the development of kidney stones.
- A watermelon is vital to obtain a low fat, low cholesterol diet. In fact, a glass of watermelon juice is enough or is considered a complete meal already. Watermelon also contains protein in addition to water, sugar and other minerals i.e., a balanced diet in every sense.
- A watermelon is packed with potassium that essentially helps normalize blood pressure. In addition to that, it lessens the risk of developing cardiac arrest and apparently, potassium strengthens the body.
- Watermelon’s seeds are loaded with high quantities of iron. So, try to crush the seeds and add the same to your glass of watermelon juice. Needless to emphasize, it is an ideal agent to fight off and/or prevent iron-deficiency anemia and related diseases.
- Strawberries contain more vitamin C in a one-cup serving than one orange and are particularly high in folic acid. They are one of the more ordinary berries, yet have some very unordinary uses. Tartar buildup and gum disease can be prevented by brushing the teeth with strawberry puree. Drinking the strawberry juice can improve vision, reduce blood shot eyes, and kill off the herpes simplex virus. Drinking a mixture of strawberry and raspberry juices a few times a week is said to eliminate toxins circulating in the blood. Eliminating these toxins can reduce blackheads and acne, boils, and otherwise unhealthy skin.
- Blueberries are extremely high in antioxidants, as well as a very powerful bacteria-fighting compound that has been found to prevent bad bacteria from staying in the urinary and digestive tracts. Blueberry juice can also help with gout, kidney stones, and various skin ailments.
- Kiwi juice is incredibly helpful for respiratory health. Studies confirm kiwi juice to be beneficial in preventing and treating various respiratory disorders such as asthma, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chronic coughing. Drinking kiwi juice regularly will also aid those suffering from hypertension. A diet high in kiwi juice has shown to effectively lower blood pressure. In addition, kiwi juice has proven to aid in preventing blood clots, significantly reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Drinking kiwi juice may also help in treating bouts with constipation. Kiwis produce a substance known as mucilage, which acts as a natural laxative.
- Tangerines help to absorb iron from food very easily.
The dietary fiber in this fruit also improves digestion that is good for the overall working of the body. Also a number of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart diseases can be prevented with proper consumption of tangerines and other orange varieties. - Currents (Black and Red) Vitamin C and rutin are the
superstars in this berry, making both red and black currents capable of
helping with bruising, bleeding issues, and hemorrhoids. Both black and
red currents are helpful for yeast infections, such as thrush and
vaginitis. Heating either black or red current juice and sipping slowly
can bring on a sweat, making either juice an excellent beverage for a
cold or fever.
Black currents are packed with GLA, gamma linolenic acid, which helps regulate our cells and keep the immune system in top shape. Because the GLA from black currents assists muscle and nerve function, black currents can be very beneficial for those with multiple sclerosis. Red currents, on the other hand, are an excellent antiseptic and helpful for liver jaundice, ptomaine poisoning, and regulating excessively acidic blood. - Raspberries (Red and Black) From low blood sugar to high blood pressure, both red and black raspberries are helpful for a variety of ailments. Raspberries can help with common problems, such as a cold, the flu, or a fever, as well as more serious ailments like heart problems, kidney stones, and sexually transmitted diseases. Both red and black raspberries are also helpful for women's issues, such as morning sickness, labor pains, fatigue, yeast infections, and painful menstruation.
