Juicing

Two years on since my brother died, I do miss him.

You may know I am a bit of a health freak and recently I have been experimenting with juicing after reading so much about it on the Tinternet.

The idea behind drinking the juice rather than the whole fruit or veg is that it is rich in micronutrients which get into your blood stream within minutes, and it gives the digestion a rest.

Veg juice is better for you than fruit because of the sugars fruit contains. Anyhow, mine contains - one apple, one beetroot, one full pack of baby salad leaves, one kiwi, stick of celery, six small tomatoes, half a cucumber, two radish, and some basil leaves. It cost me around £2.50 for 750ml and I will drink it all today.

So how does it taste, well sort of okay, kind of earthy, quite strong, might struggle to drink my second glass full.

Using the beetroot made it look like there had been a murder in my kitchen but all cleaned up now.
