Jason Vale's Christmas juices

In the last year juicing has become MASSIVE. You can put almost anything into a juicer (apart from avocados and bananas) and it's a really easy way to be healthy, lose weight and get your five a day.

Jason Vale used juice to turn his life around. He used to smoke 60 cigarettes and drink up to 14 pints a day, but by juicing he transformed himself and he's now helping millions change the way they look and feel. Jason is here with some juices to help us through the Christmas period.
