Healthy Fresh Juices

Serves 6 – 8

Fresh juices are not only for the ‘health nuts’! Make them part of your regular diet. We invested in a Nutri Bullet a while ago. It is super-fast and convenient to use for both fruit and vegetable juices. In the Pineapple and Orange juice you can reduce the ginger to taste and leave out the cayenne, but ginger has many health benefits and cayenne pepper helps to speed up your metabolism.
