Seeing as this is a cookery blog, you may not be expecting
to see a drink made out of raw vegetables, but hey, there is a first time for
everything!
One of the biggest things I miss already about Nottingham,
is the juice bar I used to visit whenever I felt like I needed a boost! (It’s
no coincidence that they are called “Juice Boost Bars” haha.)
My favourite was their “five-a-day-juice” which was made up
of 2 oranges, 2 apples, 2 carrots, celery sticks, beetroot & a Detox
booster. YUMMY! I swear at one particularly low point during exams and revision
I was addicted to these and had one almost every day which really didn’t do my
bank balance much good.
The first two weeks I returned home from university I came
down with a really nasty cold. It took me so long to get rid of that I found
myself behind on all sort from unpacking, to registering at law school, and I
hadn’t found myself a part time job. Now a month later, I’m finally back on
track, then after just a few hours with my sister she passes on her Midlands
germs and I’m all stuffed up once again. I am not a happy bunny!
With no juice bar to go to for my veggie juice hit and a
detox booster or two, I’ve had to improvise, so for the first time ever I
decided to make my own fruit juice.
Unfortunately, I do not have a fancy juicer but I do have a
liquidiser!!! So that will have to do for now. So if you don’t have a fancy
machine either don’t panic anything that can blitz and shrd your veggies into a fine pulp will
do the trick.
This recipe is a variation on the 5 a day juice with 3 of my
favourite ingredients that we almost always have to hand, so I could drink it
every day should I choose! That’s why it’s my “everyday veggie juice”.
