ABC(LG) Juice




I have never been on a juice 'cleanse'/detox.

I have no current plans to undertake a juice cleanse/detox in the near future.

But if I did, this sweet bad boy would most definitely be on the menu!

I don't own a juicer (and quite frankly I don't see the point in wasting precious and nutritious fruit and veggie pulp) so I just blitzed everything up in my little blender with some water and it was good to go. Its both earthy and sweet and full of all those good things that will leave you feeling satisfied and refreshed, plus its a great way to boost your fruit and veg intake!


ABC(LG) Juice


Apple
Beetroot
Carrot
Lemon (the juice of)
Ginger (~2 cm chunk, peeled)


Roughly chop up everything and blend it all together with enough chilled water to make it smooth and enjoy!

Just Beet It!





Ahh beetroots... 



The perfect vehicle for puns (they will make you feel 'up-beet'!) full of the goodies your bodies craves like folic acide, fibre, calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron - what's not to love?!

There are a million and one ways to chow down on it; roasted, sauteed, steamed, raw and  even sliced into thin chips. Plus, as you have probably guessed by this stage, chopped and added to your favourite juice blend or smoothie! 

Naturally sweet yet also earthy and refreshing, just one beet in your smoothie will give you plenty of nutrients plus a super awesome colour! Get on it folks!   







Refreshing Beetroot Smoothie



1 small-med sized beetroot, roughly chopped
1 cup chopped pineapple
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
large handful of baby spinach
1 cup chilled water
handful of icecubes


Just blend everything up and enjoy! Clean and simple folks.
