Getting Juicy with Char: Super Clean Green

I love cucumbers they’re so refreshing, apples aswell; YUM.

As for kale I found out it’s not only green, you can get purple and black varieties; although the purple is more intense than green or black kale. You learn a new thing every day aye! I have opted for the green for this juice, so it’s not too overpowering.

My son has decided to try out a plant based diet over this week and my juices are a great place to start as they contain a lot of protein and vitamins needed for a vegan diet.

I’ve been reading up a lot about plant based diets and the health benefits that come with it. My son also recommend a documentary on Netflix called ‘The Game Changers’ you have to give it watch!! It will change your whole outlook on food. For those that love and want a healthy lifestyle especially if you’re a sports person; like my son, it’s essential to put good things into your body. So get introduced to the plant based diet and how it can help you feel energised. Even if you don’t want to make a complete change in your diet, just introducing some vegan meals in will have great benefits, at the end of the day it’s all about finding a balance.

Ingredients

  • 2 Apples
  • 2 Handfuls Kale
  • 2 Handfuls Parsley

Getting Juicy With Char

I went to Bora Bora, Ibiza for a friends 40th. I go to Ibiza most years; last year a friend of mine stumbled across a health juice bar; they allowed you to store your luggage there for a small fee which is handy if you have to check out of your accommodation early and have some time to kill before your flight leaves. 

Cafe Rude Bag Drop (The little gem I found)

So it was the ending of a great holiday of sun, sea and non stop parties and at this point I think all of us needed something good and healthy, so I headed over to the juice bar straight away. The lady who was making these smoothie shots explained she was using a cold press machine. Which uses a lot slower process than your average juicer in order to kept all the vitamins in the fruit and vegetables. 

The shot of tumeric was just what the doctor ordered.

She said that it takes around 10 mins to make a juice as this machine worked slow; at just 37mph (your average Nutribullet starts from about 240mph). She gave us a lot of information. I had a turmeric shot and a juice packed with vitamins, the turmeric shot was the machines selling point for me; I felt so energised after, it was just what my body needed. I did some research when I got back home on this cold press machine vs my Nutribullet and it was a winner; taking into account the health benefits of getting one. My friend sent me a link for this cold press juicer. Granted it is a bit pricey but well worth it if you juice as much as I do and want to reap the all benefits of your fruit and veg.
