Ingredients
such as carrot, lemon, honey and ginger have always been crowd favourites in
cold pressed juices but the game changer supplement lately has undoubtedly been
Kale. Originating from the cabbage
family, this ingredient is seen in almost every juice and food menu in London as
it harbours so much nutritional value as it’s packed with vitamins A,C, and K,
and helps lower cholesterol. It took the lead after spinach started to loose
it’s popularity and it’s safe to say, it is here to stay.
"But juicing
is great when the weather is warm", I hear you say, but the moment we start
leaving for work and returning home from work in darkness, Mr comfort food pays
us a visit and makes himself right at home after months of neglect.
Including
juicing to our lifestyle in the summer is certainly more attainable as there
are many summer fruits and vegetables that blend together to create nutritious
smoothies and juices, however winter fruit and veg naturally have a heavier and
more wholesome affect, and are therefore is not as easy to desire when the
autumn months arrive. But as the saying goes ‘when there’s a will, there’s a
way’ so I caught up with a professional, Artur Zielinski from Soho House, House Press and looked into
some less naturally invigorating but equally as beneficial veggies to add to
your juicing routine the latter end of the year. First up…
Often
regarded as a ‘superfood’ – this autumnal veggie is packed full of iron,
potassium and anti oxidants. It also fights against head bucking at work or on
the train aka fatigue as it assists in the flow of oxygen around your body.
Often
described as the mix between an apples crunch and the sweetness of a peach,
this one surprised me a little. As a popular dessert fruit, it is very moreish
therefore as a juice ingredient high in vitamins and is known to encourage weight
loss, having bangers and mash for dinner with a pear smoothie might not be
completely out of the question.

Mixed
together I’m not sure how complimentary these ingredients would be but
independently they hold a wholesome value with disease deterrent properties.
The House Press juices primarily use summer fruit and veg to energise however the RED
cold pressed juice is an ideal candidate as it starts to get colder, and who
knows there may be an autumnal addition to House Press this year…
