Sarah's Super Smoothie Juice

Someone I know has been a little under the weather this week. If I could make her a batch and delver it I would, but since I can't I'll post a recipe and hope some kind soul can make it for her :) This should give anyone's immune system a boost,  and most importantly, keep you hydrated to flush out the baddies. It contains Vitamins A, C, E potassium, calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium...just trust me, this is super juice. Because only the carrot and celery is juiced and everything else is pureed into a smoothie, the fibre slows the release of the sugars, and helps keep you full. And count the serves of fruit and veg in there! you got em all in a smoothie!

Makes about 2 litres of smoothie juice.
3 carrots juiced
2 large celery sticks juiced
1 cup watermelon pieces
1/2 cup dried apricots soaked
1 cup pineapple pieces
2 oranges
2 kiwi fruit, skinned and chopped


Soak apricots in water until soft - warm water for 15 minutes should be enough, you can chop up everything else while you wait.
Juice carrots and celery.
Put carrot and celery juice in blender with all other ingredients and blend until smooth.

Vegan MoFo: Liquid Breakfast - Beetroot, Carrot, Orange & Ginger Smoothie

I love smoothies for breakfast. It's the easiest way to hydrate and nourish your body. I got myself a book on juices with the aim to try a different one every day. The difference being, in the recipes only the juice is used, but I'm using the pulp as well, for the fibre and to slow down the absorption of all that fructose! So today it was beetroot, carrot, orange, and ginger. Wowee! I love fresh beetroot, and although the kitchen fairy (aka my sister Sally) wasn't so keen, I loved it. Not too sweet, and that ginger kick was just right. I used two medium beetroot, two large carrots, three oranges, and a thumb sized piece of ginger. I'll be buzzing around all morning....
