“When you juice, you’re consuming the vitamins and minerals of more veggies and fruits than you’d be able to eat in one sitting,” she adds. “Your stomach doesn’t have to work at digesting, so all the nutrients are immediately and easily absorbed.”

What’s next for Natural Born Juicers? Laura and Corey will start retailing bottled pressed juices from their City Market location and at the Indy Winter Farmers’ Market.

“Someday, we’d love to offer home delivery,” Laura adds. “We’d also like to open a second location in Broad Ripple as soon as the universe allows us to.”

Recipes from Natural Born Juicers

Readily available—and delicious—seasonal ingredients offer great juicing opportunities, and their own health benefits. Try these recipes on for taste:

THE HARVEST

(makes approximately 16 ounces) 2 apples 4 to 6 carrots ½ to 1 sweet potato Dash of cinnamon (optional)

“Apple reduces damage caused by free radicals, and also reduces the amount of oxidative stress in the body and boosts heart function,” Laura says. “Sweet potato is high in potassium, vitamin C and beta carotene, great for the skin.”

REDS AND GREENS

(makes approximately 16 ounces) 2 or 3 apples ½ beet 1 to 2 cups of cabbage 2 to 6 leaves of kale, collard and/or chard (depending on size and personal taste)

“Leafy greens have the most concentrated nutrition of any food,” Laura notes. “They have more absorbable calcium than dairy products, and abundant amounts of vitamin K and magnesium.”
