Two smoothies
Kale, Pear & Celery
Kale is the most nutrient dense
vegetable on our planet containing
high levels of vitamin A and C as well
as anti-cancer compounds. It can be
enjoyed in many ways including kale
chips, salads, stir fries and smoothies
such as this one. The pear gives the
smoothie a sweet flavour, taking away
any bitterness from the greens and is
cleansing along with the celery.
What you need
1 stick of kale
2 pears
1 stick of celery
Method
Juice!
Makes
two drinks
Baobab, Orange,
Carrot & Ginger
This amazingly healthy drink is full of
immune boosting orange juice, carrot
and ginger as well as a teaspoon of
baobab powder. Baobab is a super
fruit grown in Africa which has six times
the vitamin C of an orange and twice
the calcium of milk.
What you need
2 oranges
1 carrot
1 inch cube of ginger
1 teaspoon of baobab powder
Method
Juice the first three items and then stir
in a teaspoon of baobab powder.
Makes
two drinks
Belly Shots
These shots contain aloe vera, turmeric
and apple and are certainly not the
shooters to which I am accustomed.
I saw these on the Holistic Lifestyler
Instagram account, compiled by an
Aussie guy who is far more wholesome
than I will ever be, but I find the
account inspirational nonetheless. I
therefore thought these belly shots
would be another excellent use for my
organic aloe vera, supposedly good
for digestive issues. It's apparently best
taken on an empty stomach after
having first been to the bathroom in the
morning.
What you need
1 apple
1 tablespoon of aloe vera sap
½ teaspoon turmeric
Method
Juice the apple then blend with the
rest of the ingredients until smooth.
Makes
two shots, and what's more, they
are most palatable.
