TWO celery sticks, an avocado, half a cucumber, two apples, big bunches of kale and spinach, and a lemon.

This vitamin-packed shopping list isn't for a week's worth of cooking, it is the ingredients of just one of the amazing juices made up every day by Natalie Blue.

The nutrition-packed drinks from Whiteinch-based All About Juice are the perfect kick-start to a healthier lifestyle, with so much more than your five a day on offer.

"One of the juices has a kilo of carrots in it, as well as fruit," says Natalie, who set up the business, which now has a shop in Dumbarton Road, about a year ago.

"Some juices are good for cleansing, others for digestion, the most popular is the three-day detox: four juices a day for three days.

"The average weight loss is five pounds over the three days but it can be anything from two to 11 pounds.

"It reduces bloating and gives your body a break because it doesn't have to digest any food.

"The benefits are that you sleep really well and your skin, hair and nails all improve condition."

With a background in child obesity, working with the NHS and Glasgow City Council, Natalie has an in-depth knowledge of nutrition.

She started juicing two years ago after a friend went on a juice retreat.

"My hair was thinning and I was feeling pretty rubbish.

"I'm not very good at eating during the day so I started juicing to give me enough nutrition," she says.

The craze that swept across America after being a big hit in Los Angeles has come to Scotland. For those in the know All About Juice is the place to go.

Fresh cold pressed juices can be delivered all over Glasgow or collected from the shop, with some regular customers travelling from as far as Troon and Holytown to get their daily juice fix.

AFTER the three-day detox, many people carry on drinking one juice a day, along with healthy snacks and a well-balanced meal, says Natalie.

"After three days drinking the juices, with lots of water, they feel great and want to stay healthy, cutting out caffeine and sugar."

Working with personal trainer Nicole Bryce of NB Fitness, the girls have started running healthy eating classes at the shop and in October, a Saturday morning boot camp will combine good nutrition with fitness routines.

"The weight management class explains why diets don't work," says Nicole. "There's nothing like this - there are a lot of slimming clubs but they don't teach how to eat healthily. It's all about low calorie and low fat but the food is loaded with chemicals. We are trying to change attitudes."
