The best part about drinking juice is the first sip, whether it's a post-workout smoothie or a fresh morning juice. The sip goes through your body, lighting it up with a refreshing feeling that leaves you hydrated and energised.
Farmbox gathered the ingredients of three delicious juice recipes in one box to get you one step closer to making your juices in the comfort of your home. The recipes are healthy, delicious and most importantly, help in building immunity. Let's dive into these recipes and have fun making them.
1. The Mean Green
A good green juice is a star in the health world. It has most of the fruit and veggie servings required for your daily diet. This juice is super tasty and easy to make. While it is easy to reach for coffee in the morning, the Mean Green will help keep you energised for almost double the time without giving you an afternoon energy crash. Best of all, the antioxidants from all the greens can delay ageing and keep your body and skin looking full of life.
Ingredients
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves (or 4-6 leaves of kale)
- 6 celery
- 2 large cucumber
- 1/2 lemon
- 2 medium apples
- 1-2 inch ginger
Preparation
- Mix all the ingredients in a blender
- If the mix seems too thick, add 1/4 cup of cold water and blend again
- Strain the drink through a sieve to remove the pulp
- Drink immediately and enjoy!
2. The Detoxifier
This juice is rich in flavour and colour. Beetroots have immense benefits on their own, but blending them with other fruits and veggies creates a powerful mix. This blend is perfect to consume an hour before exercising, or first thing in the morning as it improves stamina, helps maintain a healthy weight, lowers blood sugar and leaves skin healthy and glowing.
Ingredients
- 2-3 medium-length beets
- 6 carrots
- 2 medium apples
- 1/2 lemon
- 1-2 inches of ginger
Preparation
- Mix all the ingredients in a blender
- Strain the drink through a sieve to remove the pulp
- Drink immediately and enjoy!
3. Blueberry Banana Breakfast Smoothie
Smoothies are versatile and fulfilling, but often mistakenly thought of being too high in calories. The difference between a healthy smoothie and smoothies served at some cafes is how they get sweetened. By avoiding processed sugar and flavoured syrups, you are on your way to enjoying healthy smoothies. With this recommended smoothie, you'll get the right sweetness from banana and dates. We suggest that you have this delicious smoothie at breakfast time because it is rich, creamy and will fill you up for hours ahead.
Pro-tip: use frozen fruits in smoothies to avoid adding ice and watering them down.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (165g) fresh blueberries
- 3 frozen bananas (300g)
- 2 dates (pitted)
- 1/2 cup (120ml) almond milk
Preparation
- Mix all the ingredients in a blender
- Drink immediately and enjoy!
