Читать книгу Juice Master Keeping It Simple: Over 100 Delicious Juices and Smoothies - Jason Vale, Jason Vale - Страница 12

The idea of the book is ‘Keeping it Simple’ and a whole fruit juicer makes juicing that much easier (see The Right Juicy Kit, page 9). Kids’ Chute Juice has been designed with whole fruit juicing in mind. All of the ingredients fit into the chute, you push down and boom – juice done! If you don’t have a wide funnel juicer, you can clearly still make this juice; it just means you have to spend some extra time cutting, chopping and feeding into the chute. This gorgeous-tasting fruit smoothie packs more nutrients than you would think. Just look at what’s in it below to see the incredible quantity of vitamins and minerals your kids will get by having a small glass.

2 apples (Golden Delicious or Royal Gala) ⅓ lemon with rind on (unwaxed if possible) 1 pear (Conference are best, but use whatever you can get hold of) ice

Put one apple in the chute, followed by the lemon and pear. Sandwich with the other apple and juice. Add ice to cool.

Look what’s in it! Vitamins A, B and C, potassium, folic acid, boron, ellagic acid, carotenes, amino acids, natural sugars and anti-oxidants.

How will it juice the little ones? Pear juice is exceptionally good for protecting the colon. Given that colon cancer is now one of the biggest killers in the UK, the earlier you can get some protection into your kids the better. The mineral boron is needed in trace amounts for healthy bones and muscle growth. It is also necessary for the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. Additionally, it enhances brain function as well as playing a role in how the body utilizes energy from fats and sugars. Both apples and pears contain boron.
