Sweet & Sour Juice (that’s low in sugar!)
By Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND
It’s simple, sweet, sour and super low in sugar. If you’re short on time, this is a juice you can whip up in minutes with almost no preparation and it adds heaps of nutrients to your body. The high vitamin C content of the grapefruit will support the absorption of the minerals in the spinach, particularly the iron content. The sour taste supports liver and digestive health and the grapefruit is a great cleansing fruit with a low glycemic load. Learn more about glycemic load and what it means.
