Why It's Good For You:

We've really ramped it up by adding in celery, zucchini, capsicum and loads of fresh herbs. Herbs are jam-packed with health-promoting chemicals, and they have more antioxidants than most fruits and vegetables. Herbs such as rosemary - which is an anti-cancer compound, memory enhancer, mood elevator, migraine killer, immune booster and improver of digestive health.
