This juice is packed with nutrients and goodness. The health benefits are endless. All peppers are rich in vitamins A, C and K, but red peppers are simply bursting with them, and are far more nutritious than green peppers. Antioxidant vitamins A and C help to prevent cell damage, cancer, and diseases related to aging, and they support immune function. They also protect against cataracts and heart disease, and reduce inflammation like that found in arthritis and asthma. Vitamin K promotes proper blood clotting, strengthens bones, and helps protect cells from oxidative damage. Strawberries are also great antioxidants and a wonderful source of vitamin C, which help to prevent cell damage, and a host of other goodies. And, as we all know, the saying goes “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” ! Enjoy !
Makes 2 glasses.
INGREDIENTS
1½ cups of sweet strawberries

Rebecca Hi there and I hope you make and enjoy this !
Sounds and looks amazing! Going off to the shops to get some strawberries now! 🙂
Hi there Sapphire, let me know how it goes and enjoy ! 🙂
Should the apples be peeled?
If you are using a juice extractor Meribah then no, the juice will be extracted from them by the machine itself. Cheers.
Just had this for breakfast and it was utterly delicious, thanks Miriam!:)
Neil Hi there and thanks for dropping by here with your feedback on this juice – I am delighted that you made and enjoyed it. I look forward to your future comments and feedback on my blog. Best wishes your way in the meantime. 🙂
Hi! I asked about the apples because you mentioned a blender rather than a juicer. I thought the red pepper was pretty overpowering but it was nice to try something new.
Hi Meribah, apologies for that – an error of print, it is a juice extractor you need to use not a blender (have changed the word on the recipe) – no wonder the red pepper was too overpowering. Please try it in a juice extractor and it will be wonderful I assure you. Meantime, at least it was a healthy ‘smoothie’, but it’s a juice as in the name. Let me know how it goes 2nd time running. Best wishes your way in the meantime ! 🙂
