Juicing Joy: My Favourite Juice Recipes for Health + Happiness

I recently dusted off my juicer + got back into the delicious world of juicing. My all-time favourite blend is orange, carrot + ginger — a vibrant combo that’s not only tasty but packed full of goodness.

When I did my Yoga Teacher Training, the place we stayed — ‘Mana’ — made fresh juices daily. One stood out: the ‘Mana Boost’. It was exactly this blend of orange, carrot + ginger, and I fell in love with it instantly.

This juice isn’t just a drink to me; it’s a connection to treasured memories from my training + time in Lombok. The taste transports me right back, making every sip feel special.

I’m usually a creature of habit, sticking to what I know + love. But I’m planning to mix things up to add variety to my diet. Before I do, I wanted to share this classic recipe with you:

Mana Boost Juice Recipe

• 5 oranges

• 500g carrots

• 1 stem of ginger (adjust for more or less heat!)

Why this juice is so good for you:

• Immune-boosting powerhouse: Loaded with Vitamin C + A + the healing properties of ginger to strengthen your defence system.

• Supports vision + skin health: Beta-carotene + antioxidants promote glowing skin + protect your eyes.

• Anti-inflammatory effects: Great for joint health, reducing chronic inflammation + fighting oxidative stress.

• Digestive aid: Ginger helps digestion + eases bloating, while citrus keeps your bowel movements regular.

• Natural energy boost: Natural sugars, electrolytes + nutrients make it a perfect morning or midday pick-me-up.

Why Juice at All?

If you're wondering whether juicing is worth the effort — absolutely yes. Here are some reasons why it can be a brilliant addition to your daily routine:

• Nutrient boost: Juices deliver a fast hit of vitamins, minerals + antioxidants your body can absorb quickly.

• More fruit + veg made easy: It’s a tasty way to increase your intake without eating a mountain of salad.

• Better digestion: Juicing removes insoluble fibre, giving your digestive system a little rest while still getting the nutrients in.

• Energy lift: A fresh juice is an ideal pick-me-up without the caffeine crash.

• Radiant skin + hair: Antioxidants + hydration from juice can do wonders for your glow.

• Detox support: Ingredients like cucumber, lemon + celery help support natural detoxification.
