The following recipes and notes are reproduced (either in part or in total) with the kind permission of Julie Stafford.

Julie is the author of many wonderfully healthy books, but the one I use is her “Juicing for Health” which is published by Penguin Books Australia. For a full list of books by Julie you can contact her at her email address :

"Juicing for Health” also details the medicinal benefits of most herbs, spices & vegetables and is a good read.
