Time to juice up my blog a lil’ bit! I got a crazy idea to start a juice cleanse; however, it only lasted 1 3/4 of a day. To think I was attempting to do this for 7 days. Pfft! As if. I need food or I get hangry.
But in the process I discovered how much I love creating fresh juice. One of my favourites consisted of the following ingredients:
- 5 oranges
- 1/2 pineapple
- 4 carrots
- 1 inch cube of ginger
I removed the skin off of the oranges, pineapple and ginger; but left it on the carrots. You will need to cut the fruit into appropriate sizes for your juicer. All items got put through the juicer. This makes approximately 800 - 1000 ml of fresh, delicious juice.
To make this into a tropical smoothie add the following ingredients to a high powered blender;
- 1 frozen banana, chopped into slices
- 1/2 cup of the above juice
- 1/2 cup plant based milk. I used soy.
- 1 TBSP baobab powder (optional)
Blend all ingredients together and serve with a reusable straw.
More juices/smoothies to be added as my new found juicing passion continues.
Enjoy!!
