Rosemary Ferguson, the former model turned naturopathic nutritionist, shares a few of her favourite juice recipes from her latest book.
The perfect way to cleanse, heal and revitalise, Rosemary’s new book, Juice, is a collection of 100 recipes for juices and smoothies that have been tailored to specific ailments, although all are a fantastic way to get a boost of nutrients.
As a mum, naturopath and nutritional therapist Rosemary’s philosophy is to make healthy living achievable. Sounds like our kind of philosophy!
RAINBOW JUICE
This is multivitamins in a glass! It contains all the colours of the rainbow, so you are getting a whole spectrum of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals – all necessary to heal and repair the body. The live enzymes in the blue green algae, plus the B12, will leave you feeling totally regenerated after your yoga class.
Ingredients | Serves 1
1 carrot
10 blueberries
Handful of spinach
Juice of ½ lemon
2 tsp blue green algae
Pass all the ingredients, except the blue green algae, through the juicer, juicing the lemon through the juicer, or by using a citrus press, or squeezing by hand. Then you can stir in the blue green algae at the end. Enjoy!
CLEAN AND STRENGTHEN
Great for skin and hair, the B vitamins in the greens help detoxify the body and build healthy glossy hair. Beautiful skin is boosted by the oranges, which are high in vitamin C – essential for collagen repair. The vitamin A in the carrots helps strengthen the skin tissue.
Ingredients | Serves 1
Small handful of coriander
Handful of kale
Handful of watercress
2 carrots
Juice of 2 oranges
Pass all the ingredients through the juicer. You can juice the oranges in the juicer, or by using a citrus press, or squeezing by hand.
CRYSTAL CLEAR
Rosemary is renowned for helping memory and concentration while the sage will help balance your hormones. And as autumn is upon us, this is a great juice for using the season’s fruit and veg.
Ingredients | Serves 1
2 stalks of celery
6 radishes
¼ pineapple
1 tsp thyme leaves
6 sage leaves
Peel the pineapple and then pass with all the other ingredients through the juicer, wrapping the rosemary and thyme into the sage leaves, otherwise they will get lost in the juicer.
