There’s nothing like a fresh juice to get you on your way. Whether it’s to give you a shot of energy before a run or cure a biting hangover, making juices in your own home is quick, easy and satisfying.

But juices have come under fire as they separate the fibre from the nutrients, which is actually an essential ingredient to your diet. So how do you get a juice, but with the added fibre? You must have heard of a NutriBullet:

With its patented blade design and unique cyclonic action, the revolutionary NutriBullet breaks down even the toughest ingredients (carrots, nuts, ice, etc.) into their most digestible, nutrition-enhancing state. Being a nutrition extractor or super blender, there is no part of the fruit or vegetable that gets lost (notably including the pulp). Incredibly easy to use, and to clean, the NutriBullet will transform your daily diet.

Sounds good, but what do we put in these juices? All too often I have created a juice with a little too much grapefruit, or not enough spinach, generally overpowering the flavour or undermining the amount of nutrients needed to be effective.

No worries, we chose five of our favourite recipes so that next time you attempt your juice you will nail it.
