ADVICE FROM OUR DIETICIANS
Beetroot
Choose firm ones that are not too
big. Scrape and cut into pieces before
processing them in the juicer. As it is
often difficult to find raw beetroots in
the shops, you can used cooked
ones, bearing in mind that their
nutritional value will be slightly
lower.
Benefits: beetroots are rich in sugars,
especially saccharose, and minerals.
Blackberry
Choose soft, plump, shiny fruit. If you are
buying them, check that there is no juice
at the bottom of the punnet. Rinse them
briefly under the tap and drain on
kitchen paper before processing them in
the SmoothieMix.
Benefits: blackberries contain many
minerals, including potassium, calcium,
magnesium and iron, as well as trace
elements, such as zinc, copper and
manganese. Blackberries ward off
cardiovascular disease by strengthening
capillary walls.
Blackcurrant, Redcurrant,
Blueberry
Select firm berries with shiny skins
(blueberries should have a bloom on
them). To enjoy them all year round,
remove them from their stalks, wash
them, dry them and freeze them
in punnets. If you are using fresh
berries, strip them from their stalks
before processing them using the
SmoothieMix. As redcurrants have
virtually the lowest sugar content of
any fruit, use cane syrup to sweeten
their rather tart juice.
Benefits: these red fruits are rich in
vitamin C and antioxidants, some of
which play a role in the formation of
the retina.
Broccoli
Choose broccoli heads
with tight, dark green florets. You can
process both stalks and florets in the
juicer. As broccoli juice is quite bitter,
it is a good idea to combine it with
other juices.
Benefits: broccoli belongs to the
cabbage family, which is known for
its anti-cancer properties.
