Organic Breakfast Juice

by Leave a Comment

I’ve decided to make myself some organic breakfast juice so that I can get some extra nutrients while my body recovers from the last stint in hospital. I grabbed a bunch of different organic fruits and vegetables from my local markets for the ingredients and it tastes great! This is super easy to make and only takes about 35 minutes.

Makes roughly 2 liters

Ingredients

  • 2 bunches of kale stalks (makes 200ml)
  • 1 medium beetroot (makes 100ml)
  • 5 carrots (makes 275ml)
  • 5 celery stalks (makes 325ml)
  • 1 medium bunch broccoli (makes 100ml)
  • 1 large orange (makes 250ml)
  • 3 small apples (makes 275ml)
  • 1/2 large pineapple (makes 600ml)

Instructions

  1. I juiced the different fruit and vegetables in the listed order and joined them in a single jug to mix. My juicer doesn’t fit much in it which is why I did everything in stages.
  2. Refrigerate and drink as you want.

Eating healthy sometimes isn’t easy but there are some simple things you can do to eat well is to get on top of your food preparation. I’ve always cooked most of my meals and as I’ve got older my free time has gotten shorter. I live with someone who is even more health conscious than myself and he prepares all his meals in one hit. In the last month I have done the same and I have to admit that it saves me a heap of time during the week.

What I do is prepare all my lunches, salads, proteins, carbs (rice) and pre cut all my vegetables for my dinners for the entire week. It takes me about two hours to get all my food for the week ready and I do that all on Sunday nights. I’ve just finished my latest run and decided to share my process.

My food for the week includes the following:

  • 1 kg of oven roasted chicken thighs
  • 1 kg of savoury mince, tomato based
  • A lot of kale salad
  • 2 cups of brown rice
  • 3 head of broccoli
  • 3 zucchini

This does not include the protein I have with every meal but does include the protein I take to work to have for my second lunch. It’s a simple matter of putting the mince, chicken and rice on. Then get to work cutting all the vegetables and stuff for the salad for the week.
