Healthy and tasty juice recipes

Juicing provides a quick and easy way to assimilate vital nutrients without burning energy to do so. Making living juice a daily part of your diet can provide increased energy, a glowing complexion, strengthened immune system, stronger bones and improved immunity. Living juices can promote the flushing of toxins from your body, are good for your weight, heart, circulation and overall well-being.

We have recently introduced the OSCAR DA 1000 Juicer to Naturezone Health which is an outstanding juice extractor producing great tasting "Living Juice" due to a single gear, patented design auger extraction process.

Normal speed juicers and blenders can destroy the enzymes in the juice by subjecting them to heat, metal cutting blades and high speed centrifugal rotation. Rotating at a low 80 RPM the OSCAR Juicer produces no heat and ensures a living juice without any loss of enzymes or nutrients. Those living enzymes provide a fresh and vital juice which retains appearance, flavour and nutrients for many hours when stored in the refrigerator. Juice from conventional juicers deteriorates very quickly.

To inspire anyone looking to make some new tasty juices here are some of our favourite recipes you can try.

Apple Zinger

A terrific breakfast enlivener that perks up the whole system and really wakes up your taste buds.
2-3 whole apples
1 whole lemon peeled
1 cm cube of fresh ginger

Cabbage and Pineapple Zinger

This is a surprisingly yummy juice which children (and adults) will love as a substitute for sugary soft drinks. It has a surprisingly sweet flavour but without the white sugar. Cabbage aids digestion and is usually a vegetable that most people don’t enjoy. Europeans have long known the benefits of fermented cabbage (sauerkraut) for digestion. Try this and you will be pleasantly surprised.
