4. Cucumber, kale and pear

Pear doesn't feature highly in juicing but this refreshing combination should have you ordering it next time you visit a juice stall. Its high levels of pectin fibre means it lowers cholesterol and increases digestive health. The massive fibre boost also means you stay fuller, for a longer time. Add nutrient-dense kale, which contains all the essential vitamins and several cancer-fighting compounds like sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol, and you have yourself a miracle drink. Cool cucumber rounds out this power mix. It contains silica, which helps repair connective tissues and brighten skin.

5. Avocado, celery, cucumber and lemon

Pair avocado with celery and cucumber, which helps add lightness to the dense superfood. "Vegetables with high water content blend well with creamy avocado," says Josephine. "The celery and cucumber suit Singapore's hot, humid climate as they have cooling properties." Celery's role here is to reduce blood pressure while supplying water and electrolytes to replenish nutrients lost through sweat. The cucumber does the same and adds vitamin A, B, and C to boost immunity. Lemon slows down oxidation and tops up on vitamin C. Hydrating and refreshing, this is the perfect drink after a good workout!

6. Mango, cherry and dragonfruit

This lip-smacking recipe features sweet mango, cherries, and slushy dragonfruit. The rainbow of vitamins and minerals that mangoes have make it a great aid to eye health, thanks to its high dose of vitamin A and beta-carotene. It's also great after a meal of grilled meats because a spectrum of compounds unique to the fruit, like polyphenols and mangiferin, make it a perfect anti-carcinogen and antioxidant. The tart cherries help activate PPAR (peroxisome proliferator activating receptors) in your tissues, promote heart health and reduce stroke risk. Dragonfruit seals the deal for your immune system, with its antibacterial and antifungal properties.

7. Sugarcane and carrot

The natural sugars of the sugarcane make it better than any artificial energy drink, hands down. Drink it to prevent a post-meal slump! With its high concentration of magnesium, potassium, calcium and iron, it creates an alkaline environment that helps to prevent cancer. Carrots add an earthiness to the mix and gets plenty of fibre and vitamin A into you, to help keep you bright-eyed through the work day.

8. Papaya, pineapple and lemon

These tropical fruits are big digestion aids. "Both papaya and pineapple are full of proteolytic enzymes," says Ms Ng. "This combination is perfect after a meat-heavy meal as it helps you to digest proteins." The papaya also relieves constipation too if you're feeling a little clogged up. Choosing this trio means your system gets a huge dose of beta carotene, vitamin C and bioflavonoids, which are the cornerstones of healthy body functionality.

9. Honeydew, green apple and milk

Strong teeth and bones - that's what you'll get by consuming this refreshingly creamy concoction, thanks to the honeydew and milk. Melon also contains a high level of calcium and potassium, which relieves hypertension. Green apples have more fibre than their red cousins, and also impart a pleasant tartness to this juice mix. Fibre aids in digestive maintenance, reduces colon cancer risk, and lowers cholesterol.

10. Buah long long (golden apple), sour plum

At Haig Road Food Centre's stall 01-32, the buah long long (or golden apple) is the star that dominates the menu. A cup of this citrusy juice helps with anaemia, thanks to its high doses of iron and vitamin B1, which boost red blood cell count and help improve oxygen flow in the system. The grassy flavour is delicious, and you'll sometimes find this juice mixed with sour plum, which adds more vitamins for an overall immunity boost.

11. Soursop, coconut milk

This mouthwatering blend of soursop and coconut milk helps to clears out the digestive system. Soursop contains plenty of fibre to help with this task, as well as acetogenins which have anti-cancer properties. Coconut milk contains lauric acid, which is easily absorbed by the body to use as energy. It also enhances physical performance, brain function and aids in weight loss. Tasty and transformative… We're sold!
