My favorite kitchen tool is the juicer. The thing RULES!!!!! My Mom and Pop's gave my wife and I a Jack La Lane Juicer a while back and ever since we've been juicing everything we can. We'd juice a shoe if we could get it in there. Just yesterday my Wife and I made a delicious blend of orange , apples , carrots , parsley and lime. Not only is it great in nutritional value but it tastes great and gives me a much better burst of energy than a red bull or any energy drink out on the market. Which by the way, you want to stay away from. The energy drink that is.
What you get:
-Oranges are a good source of minerals such as calcium , iron , and potassium to name a few and like other citrus fruits , is known for their vitamin C content. Oranges also help in absorbing calcium into the body and help maintain the health of teeth and bones. Bottom line! Oranges are good!
-The health benefits in apples are enormous. Making it one of the most the most valuable and savored fruits throughout the world. Apples like oranges contain many great minerals, but the best one is the dietary fiber , which helps in reducing the bad cholesterol levels.
-Carrots are a god source of beta carotene(which is converted into Vitamin A by the body). The rewards one reaps from carrots is amazing. They are good for eye disorders , skin care , nervous disorders , indigestion , constipation , diarrhea ,arthritis , gout and even lung cancer.
-The parsley and lime are just really for flavor. But parsley contains Vitamin K , C , A , folate and iron. And is also a very good antioxidant.
Limes contain Vitamin A , C and also Folate ( which by the way is a very important vitamin during pregnancy).
All in all , this little cocktail of fruit and veggies is not only a delicious drink but is also a great source of vitamins and minerals your body needs. So drink up!
