Freshly squeezed


I love fresh juices and smoothies, they're often my afternoon 'snack' of choice. As we all know too much fruit = too much fructose, so it's best to mix up the fruit with either dairy (organic please peeps) or vegies. If you can, try avoiding 'fresh' or re-constituted juices in a bottle. There's waaaay too much sugar and little or no nutrients (they left the building a long time ago). If you can't get to a juice bar, look for frozen fruit with no additives and find a good blender or juicer on eBay. I only ever order or make a small size. Here are a few of my favourite mixes...

* mandarin and beetroot
* apple, mint and celery heart (I only use the young, yellow-ish stalks, they're sweeter)
* watermelon, strawberries and basil
(tis only fruit so make it a super small one... and add some vodka at happy hour!)
* frozen berries, whole milk, creamy yoghurt and a touch of maple syrup
* bananas, vanilla ice cream, milk and five spice powder
* pineapple, lychee, coconut milk, palm sugar and lime
