When you are using a Breville juicer to create natural healthy drinks using raw ingredients it’s nice to know there are endless possibilities for not only adding new flavors, but for adding new health benefits as well.
A Little Spice
If you like spicy flavors you can heat things up a little by adding cayenne pepper to your juices. A nice combination is using cayenne, exotic fruits such as pineapple and some coconut water which provides you with plenty of electrolytes perfect following a workout. Cayenne will work to boost your metabolism and is also good for aiding with digestion. To really bring things to a new crescendo of spice and tingle, ginger adds a lovely flavor with many benefits for the tummy as well as working as an anti-inflammatory.
Plant the Seed of Health
Seeds may seem like an odd thing to add to your juices but you can get a nice thicker texture like a smoothie if you add chia seeds. These seeds have tons of healthful ingredients from omega-3 to plenty of minerals and vitamins with the added benefit of helping to keep you hydrated throughout the day. You have to soak them overnight so they will blend down smoothly.
Berry Delicious
You may have heard of these two berries ad nauseum, but they are both something you really should consider adding to your diet. Goji berries are a super antioxidant full of amino acids but they are also delicious. Acai is the other super berry packing a healthful punch full of flavor as well as vitamins, minerals and omega acids and are considered to have 10 to 30 more anti-oxidants than any other berries. Throw in some pomegranate for tang and to lower cholesterol and you are set.
Bees and Tees
Bee pollen is great for the skin as well as increasing oxygen rich blood cells. It may seem a little chalky but may be easier to swallow when added to refreshing juices. Kombucha is a fermented tea that can add some natural fizz to your juices as well as antioxidants and probiotics.
The next time you pull out your Breville juicer reach into your pantry or fridge for some of these powerful ingredients.
