An Easy and Delicious Way to Achieve Your Daily Fruit and Vegetable Serves

You are not alone if you struggle to meet your daily vegetable and fruit serves. Four out of every five Aussies are not ticking these boxes each day. The average Australian man is achieving 2.3, women 2.5 and children 2.1 serves of the recommended 5 serves of vegetables each day*.

Meeting your daily fruit and vegetable serves each day has many health benefits including helping you to achieve a healthy weight, reducing your risk of certain cancers, reduced risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and type two diabetes and may help you maintain your health as you get older.

One small glass (125mls) of 100% vegetable or fruit juice counts as a serve of these food groups. nudie Carrot Apple Orange & Ginger Juice, Apple Pineapple and Cucumber Juice and Pear Strawberry and Beetroot Juices by nudie is made with 100% real fruit and vegetables and counts towards your fruit and vegetable serving needed for the day to promote optimal health.

All three delicious juice choices are made with 100% real fruit and vegetable ingredients and nothing else! No concentrates, no additives or added sugar.

Some of the health benefits of fruits used to make these juices include:

1. Carrots are a great source of vitamin A which help your immune system work at its best. Vitamin A also helps your eyes to function optimally.
2. Apples, pineapples, and oranges are rich in vitamin C which also supports optimal immune system functioning. Vitamin C is also needed to make the protein collagen. Collagen is needed for healthy ligaments and tendons and keeps your skin looking youthful.
3. Pears are a good source of vitamin K which plays a role in keeping your bones strong as well as allowing your blood to clot normally.
4. Pineapples contain an enzyme called bromelain which helps your body to digest the proteins you eat and aids in digestion.
