Piping Hot Palate-Pleasing Pepper Juice
By Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND
My all time favourite juice will always be a spicy, savoury juice particularly if I want it as a meal replacement at lunch or dinner. So, I was happy to come up with a brand new one — a great Mexican flavoured juice filled with delicious veggies you’d find in any Mexican cuisine. Chilli is an excellent metabolic stimulant, lime assists with blood sugar control and fat metabolism, coriander has excellent detoxification properties while coloured peppers are high in immune boosting carotenoids. Enjoy this fabulous juice!
