Vegetable juices are an excellent way to stock up on nutrients and minerals. By adding a bit of pollen, you can enjoy a health drink that is both revitalizing and energizing. We explain everything about vegetable juices.
Vegetable juices to stock up on vitamins
A vegetable juice is a juice that contains at least 80% vegetables. The remaining 20% are fruits. The percentage of vegetables should not be lower because otherwise, your juice will be too sweet.
Choose a juice extractor to make your vegetable juice. This machine removes all the fibers from vegetables and fruits to extract only the juice. The benefits? A very easily digestible juice, gentle on the intestines. Raw vegetables can be irritating to the intestines: raw foods require a healthy digestive system to perform the digestion work, which can be tedious.
With a vegetable juice, you get all the benefits of raw vegetables without the digestive troubles. Depending on the vegetables and fruits you choose to put in your juice, they will provide you with different minerals, vitamins...
Of course, not everyone necessarily has a juice extractor at home. Know that you can find vegetable juices directly in stores, often in organic shops. Make sure they are cold-pressed.
When to consume fresh vegetable juice
We recommend consuming your vegetable juices outside of meals. The best time is in the morning on an empty stomach, to provide your body with a maximum of essential nutrients as soon as you wake up. You will start your day well ;)
Revitalizing vegetable juice recipe
Here we offer you to prepare a classic vegetable juice. The base, let's say. You need, for two glasses of juice:
- six carrots. Carrot is a pure concentrate of antioxidants. It is an excellent source of beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, beneficial for beautiful skin.
- one lemon: it is known for its blood-thinning action

You can make vegetable juices with almost any vegetables possible! Be creative, don't hesitate to mix flavors. Choose seasonal vegetables and fruits to benefit from a maximum of nutrients.
Fresh pollen
Pollen contains the eight essential amino acids for life that our body cannot synthesize and must find daily in our diet.
It also contains vitamins, minerals often in the form of trace elements, enzymes, and antibiotic substances. Pollen is tonic, stimulating, and euphoric. It allows better physical and intellectual performance, especially for athletes and students.
You can find fresh pollen or dry pollen. The major difference is that fresh pollen retains all the naturally present lactic ferments. They protect and restructure the mucous membrane while limiting the harmful effect of stress on your body.
