Apple Smoothie Recipe - Apple Pie Smoothie

This was today's juicing/smoothie project - an Apple Pie Smoothie! It is said to be good for athletes but I am sure that even if you are not an athlete your body will get enormous benefits from this delicious smoothie.

What you need
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 peeled chopped apple
- 1 cup apple juice (approximately 2-3 apples juiced)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg

First juice the apples and then put all the ingredients in the blender. Enjoy over some ice!

Did you actually know that apple juice can have a similar affect to a coffee but that it is actually healthier for you? It will give you a boost of energy but without the actual lows that you experience when consuming caffeine.

I hope you enjoy this apple smoothie recipe as much as I did!

Juice Master Recipe - The Incredible Sherbet Lemonade

My Green Juice Recipe

Today I tried something different; I didn't use a recipe from a book but created my own Green Juice Recipe. I was surprised to be honest how good it actually tasted; way better than I thought it would!

What I juiced in my juicer:
- 2 green apples
- 1 inch cucumber
- 1 inch zucchini
- 3 salad leaves (I used Cos Salad)
- a very small piece of green capsicum

I juiced everything in between the two apples; so therefore first one apple than all other ingredients and last another apple.

I have also done some research so that I can actually tell you some of the health benefits of my Green Juice Recipe from above.

Raw Apple Juice is good because it cleanses the liver and kidneys! It also contains Vitamin A which is great for your vision and Vitamin C, an effective antioxidant. There is also fiber in Raw Apple Juice which helps prevent the build up of cholesterol in your blood vessels. Of course there is also physio nutrients to reduce the risk of heart disease and potassium which can reduce pain associated with arthritis and rheumatism.

Lets look at the health benefits of Raw Cucumber Juice. Raw Cucumber Juice can be good for acne, arthritis, eczema, fluid retention, hair loss, high blood pressure, kidneys, psoriasis, stomach disorders and weight loss. It is a good source of folate, magnesium, Vitamin B6, C and K, as well as potassium, panthothermic acid, phosphorus, thiamin, sulphur. And that is only the benefits of two of the ingredients of the above Green Juice Recipe!

Raw Lettuce Juice is also amazing because it contains so much good stuff that it aids digestion, helps with constipation and may also aid with insomnia. It is also good to know that it can reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke as well as cateracts. Raw Lettuce is also good for hair loss and what I found quite interesting can help with problems of premature ejaculation!

Raw Zucchini Juice has similar health benefits as cucumber juice as is generally good for bladder problems, kidney health, skin conditions as well as weight loss. Raw Zucchini Juice is in addition also a good internal cleanser!

Finally our last ingredient Raw Capsicum Juice is rich in lycopene which is an antioxidant that helps prevent cancer. It also contains Vitamin C to help the production of collagen which protects against skin disorders. Another health benefit of Raw Capsicum Juice is that it contains Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B9; both of these help control blood levels and also reduce the risk of heart disease.

I was quite impressed with all the health benefits that my Green Juice Recipe has and I can assure you I will be making it again!

Please also feel free to leave any comments or suggestions maybe even recommendations. Thank you! :)

High Blood Pressure Smoothie Recipe

This smoothie might help people with high blood pressure. Most cases of high blood pressure are caused by hardening of the arteries or even blockages. This results in that the heart has to work a lot harder to pump the blood through the body which is then called high blood pressure.

When someone has high blood pressure this can mean an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Generally middle aged people and overweight people are more affected by this.

In her book Raw Juices Can Save Your Life Sandra Cabot includes lots of recipes to help many healthy problems or issues ranging from high blood pressure, hormonal imbalances, colds to even headaches and many many more.

For this smoothie you will need
- 1 banana
- 1 cm slice pineapple
- 1 cup milk (oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk or rice milk)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

Put all the ingredients in the blender and enjoy your high blood pressure smoothie over some ice!

P.S. You can even enjoy this if you haven't high blood pressure; it still tastes yummy and is good for you!

Midday Melon Juice

Here is a special melon juice recipe from Jason Vale that is packed with vitamin A and C, betacarotene,, phyto-chemicals, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium! It will help you stay hydrated and it just simply tastes amazing!

What you will need:
- 1/2 watermelon (small)
- 1/4 lemon
- 2 pomegranates
- 100g raspberries

I personally prefer to juice everything apart from the raspberries and as the final step put the juice and the berries in the blender/fruit processor. It will make it thicker and you will be able to get more out of the raspberries. However this comes down to personal preference on how you prefer to enjoy your melon juice!

The above recipes is from Jason Vale's (Juice Master) book Turbo Charge Your Life in 14 Days !
