Healthy Detox Juice Recipes

Healthy Detox Juicing Recipes

Juicing has been a passion of mine for many years now,  I just love the fact you can consume more than your average meal portion of fruit and veg in one glass. These magic juices, as I like to call them are super quick to make and help me drink up vegetables I wouldn't necessarily have. They are also refreshing and filling and great if your on the go.

I wanted to share with you three of my all time favourite recipes that are full of essential vitamins and perfect for first time juices. These juices are best served fresh over ice and a glass of water is a good idea to have after, to wash off any acidity you may have on your teeth. I hope this inspires you to get juicing, tweet me or leave a comment down below on what your favourite juice is?

A word on my juicer - Juicers can be expensive although I think it's a great investments if your not very good in getting your five a day in. I use the Philips Viva Juicer, which is a great compact version, that doesn't produce much pulp, helping you gain maximum juice and less waste.

Juice 1 - Red Beet Cleanse Juice
- 2 Apples, Gala or Golden Delicious are best
- Half a Lemon with the rind cut off
- 3 or 4 stalks of celery, keep the leaves on they are full of goodness
- 2 Raw Beetroot with the skin cut off

Juice 2 - Happy Skin Carrot Juice
- 2 Apples
- 7 or 8 carrots topped and tailed
- A small piece if Ginger, depending on how strong you like it

Juice 3 - Go Green Detox Juice
- 2 Apples
- Half a Cucumber
- 3 to 4 stalks of Celery
- Half a Lemon with the rind cut off

 

Workout Clothes Inspiration - Motivation Monday

When it comes to working out motivation is defiantly needed, for me anyway, especially when it has been so cold out at the moment. I admit the start of 2015 has been a struggle to get out of bed early and throw myself into the gym! Motivation is the key like something to focus on, for example an event or mile stone that can help give you that extra push to want to go each day and achieve your fitness objectives.

 

Over the past few years something that has helped motivate me is workout clothes, luckily these days you don't have to pay silly prices from the well known sports brands to have nice workout gear. Places like Forever 21, H&M and Victoria's Secret PINK all cater for the fashion conscious fitness women at an affordable price. Here's my favourite picks that keep me focused to reach for my fitness goals.

What motivates you to workout, tweet me or leave a comment down below?

Top - Victoria's Secret PINK, Sports Bra - Forever 21

Add a little colour by clashing bright colours together which can be much more exciting than an all black outfit.

Workout Clothes Victoria's Secret

Worded slogan t-shirts that are fun and bright always make me want to get up and go.

Starbucks Vest - Etsy

This has become one of my favourite workout vests, it's a light comfy fabric and of course it has the Starbucks lady flexing her muscles! I found this on Etsy from a lady who makes lots of amazing tops like this, so if your a Starbucks fan then this is for you and plus it's something different to add to your workout closet.

Workout Leggings - Victoria's Secret PINK

Comfy workout leggings are a must as you don't want to be worrying about being uncomfortable while working out. I got these for Christmas and I must say they are the most comfy I have ever tried. They were a little pricey but as I mentioned before Forever 21 and H&M do equally good versions for slightly cheaper.

Now if you just can't bear the thought of colourful clothes and black is your thing, then why not try adding a splash of colour underneath with a sports bra. I love teaming these with my tops each day, it really helps in making me feel good when I go to the gym.

Hydration is just as important as the clothes you wear and for me my final motivation tip is carrying a cute cup or bottle that will help you get your recommend water intake for the day.
