Blueberries and beetroot are two of the best-studied foods for your brain, so putting them in the same glass feels like a shortcut worth taking. Blueberries bring anthocyanins, the compounds linked to better memory, and beetroot’s nitrates support blood flow to the brain. It tastes better than it sounds, too. Deep purple, a bit earthy, … Read more
The ABC juice, apple, beetroot and carrot, is one of those combinations that’s been around forever because it works. It’s sweet, earthy and bright all at once, and it’s become shorthand for a juice that supports your liver and your skin. Beetroot is rich in betaine, which supports liver function, while the carrot and apple … Read more
This is probably the juice I make most often, because it’s three cheap ingredients I almost always have in the house. Carrot and apple are sweet enough on their own, and the ginger turns it into something that warms you up from the inside. It’s the closest thing to a natural energy drink I know. … Read more
This one’s strong, and it’s meant to be. It’s a shot, not a glass. Turmeric and ginger are two of the most studied anti-inflammatory foods there are, and the lemon makes it punchy. The black pepper isn’t optional, either, it’s what lets your body actually absorb the good stuff in the turmeric. Start with a … Read more
Prunes have a reputation for a reason, and it’s not marketing. They contain sorbitol and fibre, both of which help keep things moving. Paired with apple and pear, which are naturally rich in the same things, this juice is a genuinely useful, gentle way to ease things along. It’s not a harsh laxative, and it … Read more
This is for the afternoons when you’re flagging and reaching for a third coffee. Spinach brings iron and B vitamins for a gentle lift, and the natural sugars from the apple release slowly enough that you skip the mid-afternoon crash. It’s not going to hit you like an energy drink, and that’s the point. Steady … Read more
This is the prettiest juice I make, a deep jewel-red that tastes like a tropical fruit punch with a ginger edge. Pomegranate and pineapple are both packed with antioxidants, which is what this one is really about. Fair warning: pomegranate seeds are fiddly to prep. If you’re short on time, a good quality pure pomegranate … Read more
This is the juice I reach for when everyone around me is coming down with something. Three different vitamin C sources, plus parsley, which quietly packs more vitamin K than most greens. It’s bright, a little herby, and genuinely useful in the colder months. I’m not claiming it stops colds, no juice does. But loading … Read more
Green juice gets a bad name for tasting like lawn clippings, and I understand why. This one doesn’t, because green grapes do the smoothing. They’re sweet enough to round out the kale without the sugar hit you’d get from mango or pineapple. The cucumber keeps it light, the kiwi adds vitamin C, and the result … Read more
This is a sharp, bright juice that wakes you up properly. Grapefruit and orange give it a big hit of vitamin C, the carrot rounds it out with beta-carotene, and the ginger adds a warm kick so it doesn’t taste like you’re drinking a cold remedy. One honest note before you start: grapefruit interacts with … Read more
