Juice - in your juicer

1/8 cabbage or a small slice off a big one
Handful of mint leaves
3 oranges
4 tomatoes
1 small zucchini - I peeled half the skin off
2 carrots

Nutrition notes-
Kale, raw - Just 100gm serving of this superfood contains a daily dose of vitamin C and more than your daily amount of vitamin A. The calcium-rich food also provides a large dose of Vitamin K(1) – the vital nutrient to help your blood clot. And Kale is a good source of vitamin B6, folate, and manganese thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, vitamin E and several dietary minerals, including iron, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus.
Cabbage - The amino acid glutamine in cabbage juice is totally gentle and cleansing on the digestive system, detoxifying, repairing ulcers, healing and regenerating.
Mint - aids digestion and promotes good colon health
Zucchini - is a very good source of potassium, an important intra-cellular electrolyte. Potassium is a heart-friendly electrolyte and helps with the reduction of blood pressure and lowering of heart rates. VitaminA, 4%. Vitamin C, 29%. Iron, 2%. Vitamin B-6, 10% Magnesium, 4%.
1. Vitamin K- Like calcium, vitamin K is known as a bone-enhancing nutrient. Studies have found that people ingesting good amounts of vitamin K are at a decreased risk of bone fractures.
There is also evidence that vitamin K helps prevent arterial calcification.
