Juice of the Week: Cucumber, Tomato, Basil & Celery
½ Cucumber
3 Roma tomatos
2 celery stalks
A fist of basil
This week’s juice is close to my version of a natural V8. I love savory juices. The trick to doing a savory juice is to get something to season the juice; in this case it is basil. The health benefits of this juice include but are not limited to:
Vitamin K: helps build strengthen the calcium in your bones
Antioxidents: They are believed to protect cells from free radicals, harmful oxygen molecules thought to damage cells that result in cancer.
High Lycopene: Blood circulation, lower high blood pressure, cancer prevention
Potassium: This mineral is required for keeping heart, brain, kidney, muscle tissues and other important organs of human body in good condition
Vitamin C: A healthy dose of vitamin C will protect your body from infection and maintain healthy bones and teeth, as well as quicken the body's ability to repair wounds.
Happy Juicing!!

The hubs and I are hugely thinking about buying a juicer. Any tips on brands or types to look for?
I have an old Acme juicer that I adore, I also hear that Breville is a great juicer. Here is the link to both
