“More Than Orange” Juice

Hello Everyone,

We're thrilled to dive deeper into the nutrient-rich goodness packed into Kenny's "More Than Orange," Juice. This rejuvenating blend isn't just delicious; it's a powerhouse of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can elevate your health and well-being.

Let's take a closer look at the incredible benefits of each ingredient:

  1. Sweet Potato: Loaded with beta-carotene, sweet potatoes are fantastic for promoting healthy vision, skin, and immune function. They also provide a healthy dose of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, essential for heart health and digestion.

  2. Carrot: Carrots are renowned for their high beta-carotene content, which the body converts to vitamin A, crucial for eye health and immune function. Additionally, carrots offer antioxidants like vitamin C and phytonutrients such as lutein and zeaxanthin, known for promoting eye health and reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration.

  3. Orange: Oranges are a vitamin C powerhouse, supporting immune function, collagen production, and iron absorption. They also provide fiber and antioxidants like flavonoids, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. 

  4. Ginger: Ginger boasts potent anti-inflammatory and digestive properties, thanks to bioactive compounds like gingerol. Incorporating ginger into your diet may help alleviate nausea, muscle pain, and inflammation while promoting digestive health and overall well-being.

By combining these nutrient-dense ingredients, Kenny's "More Than Orange," Juice offers a wide range of health benefits, including:

  • Immune Support: With a hefty dose of vitamin C from oranges and beta-carotene from sweet potatoes and carrots, this juice strengthens your immune system, helping you fend off infections and stay healthy year-round.

  • Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Ginger's powerful anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce inflammation in the body, potentially alleviating symptoms of arthritis, muscle pain, and other inflammatory conditions.

  • Digestive Health: Ginger is a natural digestive aid, soothing gastrointestinal discomfort and promoting healthy digestion. Enjoying this juice regularly may help ease bloating, indigestion, and other digestive issues. 

  • Antioxidant Protection: Loaded with antioxidants from sweet potatoes, carrots, oranges, and ginger, this juice helps combat oxidative stress and protect your cells from damage, reducing the risk of chronic diseases and supporting overall health.

We hope this deeper dive into the nutrients and benefits of Kenny's "More Than Orange," Juice  inspires you to incorporate this delicious and nutritious blend into your daily routine. See below for recipe.
