6 Best Natural Juices to Boost Your Energy

The recipes you’ll find here are the perfect start to healthy and delicious natural juices, especially if you want to try something new. All you need is a blender!

#1 Simply Spinach and Fruit

This one’s quite simple and refreshing. Take a handful of spinach, two oranges and a whole sliced apple and voila! Apples are year-round fruits, but if you want the freshest oranges, you’ll have to wait for winter and spring.

Remember, you can make every juice your own. Don’t fret if you want to add some extra fruit to make it sweeter.

Ingredients:

• Handful of spinach
• 2 peeled oranges, peeled
• 1 whole apple, sliced

#2 Midday Melon Juice

If you do like sweetness, then this one’s for you. This juice recipe by Jason Vale is packed with vitamin A and C, folic acid and magnesium. Because it’s loaded with water, it’ll give you the hydration you need to look and feel alive as you go about your day. Check out what you’ll need to make this melon-berry concoction.

Ingredients:

• ½ small watermelon, flesh only,
• 2 pomegranates, no seeds
• ¼ peeled lemon

You can’t help but feel healthy with this one – but you can’t be afraid of a little green. This is juice blogger Joe Cross’s favorite, and we’re sure you’ll like it too. To make the Mean Green, here’s what you’ll need:
