We use the Cacao, chocolate flavour. This Green Food Blend includes a combination of organic, non-GMO wheat grass, barley grass, alfalfa, spirulina, spinach, chlorella and broccoli. Every serving is chock full of all the necessary vitamins and minerals you need to start—and finish—the day feeling healthy.

Juice Review: LIFE BLOOD
You either love it or you hate it. In my opinion, this Genie juice is one of the greatest combinations, both in flavour and in benefits. We are today talking of the mighty Life Blood – Beetroot, carrot, apple & lemon. A delicious concoction with multiple benefits both for aesthetic and health reasons. Now its not a drink for all. If you are not a fan of earthy vegetables, this will not tickle your fancy. But growing up in Australia, with an abundance of vegetables and fruit always available to us, I love these earthy goodies. And combined, with some added zest of lemon and apple makes it all the more delicious. Beetroot is the hero ingredient here and gives the drink its characteristic colour. Beetroots are low in fat, full of vitamins and minerals and packed full of powerful antioxidants. Beetroots are also an excellent source of folic acid, fibre, magnesium and potassium. Thats packing a whole lot of punch for one red-veg. And an added benefit, it helps with your mood! So if you need a boost, you know where to go.
Carrot is the second hero in this juice. Like the beetroot, the carrot is plucked from the ground and has a multitude of health benefits as well as beauty benefits! Carrots are great for your skin. Not just anti-ageing benefits – which they can contribute too – but also help with the prevention of blemishes and acne, help with the repair of scars, protection from the sun and adds some hydration! So if you are having some skin issues, this is the veg for you! On top of that carrots are full of vitamin C so they will help keep that common cold at bay!
Apples. Plucked from trees and cold pressed into your juice for an added zing! We like to use green apples in our juices, skin on and all. Apples are great for an immunity boost, liver detoxifying, high in fibre, avert asthma and can give you whiter teeth!
Finally the might lemon. Apart of the citrus family, the yellow lemon is another great skin clearer. Its also great for immunity! Its anti-ageing, anti-bacterial, helps with kidney health, healthy nails and healthy hair!
And thats a wrap. So many benefits in the one bottle. Pick up your bottle today! A great addition to your diet.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!
It’s no secret that what you fuel your body with, will impact how your body operates. Just like a car, our body relies on what we feed it to function properly. It’s also no secret that with a wholesome shift to your dietary approach, you can help prevent – or better control – conditions ranging from cancers to arthritis to the common cold. Research shows choosing whole foods over processed foods will be the key to your journey along food-based prevention. When we talk of whole foods, we refer to foods that have largely been untouched – picked from the ground, plucked form a tree – these are the foods that will give you a new zest for life. Curb the common cold by eating fruits and vegetables that are high in vitamin C. Nuts have been proven to prevent heart disease due to their high level of Omega-3w, fibre, potassium and proteins. Leafy green vegetables are your go-to-caner-fighters as well as your berries – blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. Losing your memory? Spinach is full of folic acid, which has been shown to lessen the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. And finally for those pesky allergies, pick up an apple today. By crunching on one of these bad boys you’ll be elevating your levels of quercetin, an antioxidant that alters the immune response to allergic triggers. So there you have it, a quick low down on why you should shun the processed goods and get wholesome today. And of course, if you need a concentrated mouthful of the good stuff, look no further than our cold pressed juices – packed to rafters with cancer fighting, cold preventing, allergy averting goodies. Now that’s something to cheers about!
