Juice

Like so many of you across the US, here at the Reboot offices in New York it has been a long, cold winter and we started to grow a little stir crazy by the end! To remind us all that summer would eventually arrive I decided to experiment with a juice recipe based on a classic English summer drink, the Pimm’s fruit cup. Get the recipe!

It’s packed with greens, a touch of sweet and a hint of mint! Plus it is loaded with nutrients such as potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium and carotenoids, vitamin K, vitamin C, folate and manganese. Mint is an excellent digestive aid and can help reduce wind and flatulence and settle an upset stomach. Enjoy!

In Australia, summer is coming to an end so this is a lovely sweet end-of-season juice. And for the northern hemisphere, your warm weather is on it’s way so this is a great juice you can enjoy all season long. The celery tones down the sweetness of this juice while adding extra electrolytes. This juice is high in lycopene, the more ripe the watermelon and the darker the flesh the higher the content of this carotenoid lycopene.

Since spring is supposed to be here but it’s still freezing and miserable outside (at least it is here in NYC!), we have to find other ways to pretend this season is being good to us. This is where spring-like, refreshing juice recipes come in handy. Last week was especially cold, so Jamin, our head of production at Team Reboot, surprised our palates by making a cocktail that brought us right to Cancun. Enjoy this recipe full of liquid sunshine!

Last Friday afternoon while we were throwing a goodbye party for one of our Reboot Team members, we made this Ciao Bella juice. The taste is so satisfying, so sweet, and super rich in beta carotene from the abundance of orange fruits and vegetables. We were all glowing after we drank it! Enjoy the recipe.

I was loving the look of the red kale in the markets so I had to grab a bunch to juice and cook with this week. Kale and other cabbage family vegetables contain a naturally occurring compound called sulforaphane which has potent anti-cancer properties and it also aids in liver detoxification pathways. Kale is an excellent source of minerals, vitamin A, K and anti-oxidants. Enjoy!

I have always hated celery. I don’t like it cooked in stuffing, chopped up raw in salads, covered in peanut butter, and surely not in my juices! However, I received a bundle of it in my weekly CSA and decided to try it with cantaloupe and carrots and I really enjoyed this juice…celery and all!

This juice is made with a wonderful variety of fresh and colorful vegetables, which makes it a great source of many different plant-based nutrients. Different colored fruits and vegetables provide different and essential vitamins, minerals, and other phytonutrients. For example in this juice, the orange carrots and red tomatoes are a great source of beta carotene, the broccoli provides a source of vitamin C, iron, vitamin K and some b-vitamins to name a few. Not only is this juice packed with lots of nutrients, but it has a tasty, tangy and fresh flavor.

Watercress is a wonderful dark green leafy that contains many health promoting benefits. It’s high in vitamin K which is important for blood clotting and bone strength and formation. It is also very high in vitamin C, vitamin A and Calcium. Get the recipe and drink up!

Consuming cruciferous vegetables on a regular basis has been linked to helping support natural liver detoxification and reducing the risk of developing certain cancers.  But many people may not love the taste of some of these gems (think broccoli, cauliflower, radish, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kale) or may think that drinking foods like cabbage or broccoli in juice is just plain weird.  Here’s a way you can hide broccoli while still reaping its many benefits.  This juice is perfect for novice juicers, kids or cruciferous nay-sayers.
