    Pineapple, apple and orange. Always a fave of mine.

    Strawberry, banana and yoghurt? Smoothly style?

    As for increasing health - not sure, can you check maybe Boost's website or something?

    I find this one to be good:

    1 Carrot
    2 sticks of celery
    ½ small beetroot
    1 small cucumber
    1 knob of ginger
    ½ bunch of parsley
    6 mint leaves
    ½ whole lemon
    Serve with ice.

    great over summer when we have an excess of cucumbers from the garden.

    Dh does carrot, apple and beetroot with a touch of ginger - yum. This time of year oranges are so nice. I always have a bag and squeeze them fresh instead of eating them. I don't like my oj mixed with anything. Just love the pure taste of it. Something I found recently is frozen raspberries. Reasonably priced and you just need a few to get the flavour. Zap themin the microwave as the are abit cold in winter!

    We love watermelon, orange and pineapple here although we usually freeze our juices into iceblocks lol.

    A green smoothie is great for health. You add whatever greens you like, for example: spinach, kale, parsley, cucumber, celery (as little or as many of whatever greens you can think of) and then add a banana and a little water and blend it all together. Its not the most pleasing to look at but you will be surprised that it doesn't taste too bad at all. One of these a day for a week and you will be feeling a lot better in yourself.

    Agree with AussieGirl, the health benefits are greater with green - human blood and chlorophyll are remarkably similar. Its hard to make a big jump from sweeter juices that we're used to though so start small if you have to. I enjoyed carrot, celery, beetroot and apple. Something like 2 sticks of celery, half a beet, 1-2 carrots and 1/2-1 apple (all depends on size). There is a great book which is really cheap by the woman who is known as 'The Juice Lady' - Need to double check name spelling (on my iphone) but its by Sherie Cabom or something like that. Loads of recipe suggestions and for different ailments, like if youre trying to ward off a cold or infection etc.
