Geri - The Juicing Queen

Already juicing? Add parsley to your next juice 🌿

What it does:
→ Reduces bloating and water retention
→ Supports kidney health
→ High in vitamin C, K, and antioxidants
→ Freshens breath and helps digestion

Just add a handful to your next juice. Simple and powerful 💚

Day 7: Start a juice journal 📖

Write down what you juice and how you feel after.

Track: → Ingredients you used → Energy levels → Skin changes → Digestion improvements → Recipes you loved

This way, you’ll learn what works best for YOUR body and taste - we are all bio individuals. That’s when juicing becomes even more powerful 🥕

That’s it for the Juicing for Beginners series - I hope you found it useful.

Day 6: Save your pulp 🥕

Don’t throw it away! Juice pulp is still packed with fibre and nutrients.

Use it in:
→ A delicious vegetable stock that’s different every time
→ Veggie burgers or fritters
→ Baking (add to muffins or crackers)
→ Compost for your garden

I save my pulp in a bag in the freezer, and when it’s full, make my stock.

Nothing needs to go to waste 💚

Juicing Tip #5: Make sure you store your juices properly 🥤

Use a glass bottle or jar, keep it in the fridge and drink it within 72 hours.

Fresh juice loses nutrients over time, so the sooner you drink it, the better!

Juicing Tip #4: The best time to drink your juice, if you are a beginner, is in the morning 🌅

I like to drink a glass of water, or water with lemon juice, when waking up - and then I have my juice. This is because it’s great for nutrient absorption, digestion and starts the day off the right way.

Juicing Tip #3: Choose the right juicer 🥕

A good cold press juicer makes all the difference. You’ll get more juice and less wet pulp waste.

Not sure which one to buy? Send me a message and I will help you choose a juicer for your budget.

Bonus tip: If your pulp is very wet, squeeze it through a cheese cloth to get more juice.

Juicing Tip #2: Keep it simple 🍏
Start with 3 ingredients for your first juice:

Chose one of the following recipes for juice 1 ⬇️
(1) Spinach, apple & celery
(2) Cucumber, pak choi, parsley (+ a chuck of ginger)
(3) Carrots, red bell pepper, apple

You can add filtered water to all of these juices for taste and consistency.
Simple works - especially when you’re just starting out! 💚

It’s time for my new Instagram series: Juicing Tips for Beginners 💚 For the next 7 days, I’m sharing one simple tip each day to help you start juicing the right way.

Day 1: Start small!

Don’t try to juice every day right away. Start with 2-3 times a week and build from there.

Consistency beats perfection every time.

Here’s a new green juice recipe for you to try this week! 💚

→ 3 stalks celery
→ 2 apples
→ 2 cucumbers
→ Handful of parsley

The apples add just enough sweetness to balance the greens perfectly, plus benefits of antioxidants, replacing electrolytes, reducing bloating and good for the heart.

Cucumber + celery again are your hydration dream team, they flush out excess fluid, reduce bloating and support kidney function - great for weight loss!

Try it and let me know what you think 💚

I’m starting my Juicing For Beginners series this week. Make sure you’re following to get my delicious juicing recipes.
