Method
Use a blender to whizz up your favourite fruits and dare I mention it you can even make orange, green, pink, purple dependent on the ingredients.
Bananas are great as a basic as they have a natural sweet taste especially when first starting out or for children!
Add orange, pineapple, grapes, pomegranate, grapefruit, berries, even add unusual fruits mango, papaya, kiwi just anything you fancy apart from melon as this is best eaten on its own.
When you are feeling good about fruits then try adding greens lettuce chard spinach etc as this really increases the minerals and vitamins due to the chlorophyll abundant in green foods. Grated beetroot and carrot is excellent as these are quite sweet as starter vegetables to incorporate.
Water melon is delicious whizzed up on its own including the seeds with ice it goes into a pretty pink frothy refreshing drink and is packed with vital antioxidants to help wipe out those free radicals especially if you have indulged over the weekend.
Go on try it. Your body mind and spirit will thank you…..
