Notes
Raw sweet potatoes do, however, have an enzyme inhibitor that can make digestion difficult when eaten in large quantities – so best not to add them into your juice every day. But, by adding a pineapple to this juice we are also adding bromelain - a protein digesting enzyme, which is responsible for many of this fruit’s health benefits including: aiding digestion; reducing inflammation and swelling.
And the biggest surprise in this juice – lentil sprouts! Lentil sprouts are a good source of vitamin C, iron, folate and protein.
Sweet potatoes and carrots are very good sources of vitamin C, vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene) and potassium. The pineapple adds an extra vitamin C boost.
