Your skeleton is rebuilding itself all the time, and it needs more than just calcium to do that well. Vitamin D helps you absorb it, vitamin K points it at your bones, and vitamin C and magnesium do their part too. These juices are built around the foods richest in those nutrients: leafy greens, broccoli, citrus, kiwi and fortified plant milks.

A pinch of turmeric, with black pepper, adds some anti-inflammatory value without changing the taste much.

Watercress Pear and Cucumber Juice
Peppery watercress softened by sweet pear and cool cucumber. Watercress is one of the best green sources of vitamin K and calcium you can actually juice, and this is the glass I reach for when I want something savoury but still easy to drink. Ten minutes, two glasses.
Equipment
- 1 Juicer masticating or centrifugal
- 1 High-speed blender for the blender method
- 1 Nut milk bag or fine-mesh sieve to strain the blender version
- 2 Airtight glass bottles for storing
- 1 Budget cold press juicer a great value alternative
- 1 Budget blender a great value alternative
Ingredients
Juice base
- 100 g watercress, thick stems trimmed about a standard supermarket bag
- 2 ripe pears, cored conference or williams; the riper the sweeter
- 1/2 cucumber no need to peel
- 1/2 lemon, peeled the pith is what makes it bitter
- 100 ml cold water only if using the blender method
Instructions
Juicer method
- Wash the watercress and shake it dry. Trim off any thick woody stems, the thin ones are fine to juice.
- Core the pears and peel the lemon half. The cucumber goes in as is.
- Feed the cucumber through the juicer first, then the pears, then the watercress. Packing the leaves in with the firmer fruit stops them spinning around and getting stuck.
- Stir, pour into two glasses and drink straight away. It separates as it sits, so give it a swirl if you put it down.
Blender method
- Prep everything the same way: watercress washed and trimmed, pears cored, lemon peeled.
- Tip everything into a high-speed blender with the cold water and blend on high for 60 seconds, until completely smooth.
- Pour through a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh sieve and squeeze out as much juice as you can.
- Taste and thin with a splash more water if it is thicker than you like. Serve over ice.

Kale and Orange Juice
Kale and orange is a friendlier pairing than it sounds. Two oranges and a sweet apple take the edge off the kale, and a knob of ginger keeps it interesting. It is the glass I reach for when I want a green juice that actually tastes like a treat.
Equipment
- 1 Juicer
Ingredients
- 100 g curly kale, thick stalks removed
- 2 large oranges, peeled
- 1 sweet apple such as Gala or Pink Lady, cored
- 10 g fresh ginger, peeled
- 200 ml cold water (for the blender method)
Instructions
Juicer method
- Wash the kale and shake it dry, then strip the leaves from the thick stalks, which are tough and bitter. Peel the oranges and roughly chop them. Core the apple and cut it into quarters. Peel the ginger.
- Feed the kale through the juicer a handful at a time, then the apple and ginger, and finish with the oranges. The wet orange flushes the last of the green pulp through the machine and sweetens everything as it goes.
- Stir the juice, pour it into two glasses and drink straight away.
Blender method
- Roughly chop the kale. Peel and chop the oranges and the apple, and peel the ginger.
- Put everything in a blender with 200 ml cold water and blend on high for 60 to 90 seconds, until the kale is completely broken down.
- Strain through a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh sieve, squeezing well to get every drop out. Pour into two glasses and serve.
Notes
Kale is at its best from early autumn through winter, when the cold weather makes the leaves sweeter. Curly kale is the mildest of the kales, so start with it if you are new to green juice, and always strip the thick stalks before juicing.
