Sometimes we can go a little overboard and purchase a bit too much fruit and vegetables at the same time leaving us with quite a bit of leftovers. But instead of throwing those leftover fruit and vegetables away, I got creative with the blender and came up with some wonderful surprises.

Sure – some of my juice creations were a bit unusual but they were exploding with different flavours. It is important to experiment and use different fruit and vegetables together. Raymond O’Hara from Green Beards Juicery tells me how important it is to

“try and Drink the Rainbow so add things with different colours for different nutrients”

He also mentions how useful juicing is as you articulation-wellness.com a large amount of raw vegetables fast, at the same time. This week I had a bit too much fennel, spinach and a some other green vegetables leftover. So I got creative again, kept them refrigerated and popped them all into my blender one evening (I added some apples that were going a bit too soft, some ginger, celery and lime). I basically drank my whole blend the next morning and I thought “When have I ever consumed that many vegetables in one go?” I felt amazing!

Raymond from Green Beards also pointed out the fact that Super Juices allow us to consume a variety of vegetables we normally wouldn’t eat raw such as chard, beetroot and kale.
