June Full Moon on Friday the 13th no less!

Big orange full moon. After an evening trying to remove malware from my laptop it made we appreciate the world again. Did a bit of howling at it last night, though at dog ear levels so I didn’t wake the neighbour’s baby up !! 🙂 Tagging as Natural Health because it did me good!!!

Intense Juice

Intense Juice

Still having my juice a day, for that extra nutrient blast! Wanted to go for bitters and fabulous organic stuff that is good for the digestion.

I have been juicing for a while and I have built up the intensity of greens I can take. If you have just pulled your new juicer out of the box do not start with this one! Have a look at my other lighter recipes and certainly do not juice garlic. I would even recommend diluting this with some water kefir or natural mineral water if it is your first green veg juice. Also sip the juice, take your time enjoy.

Intensity of colour, intensity of flavour, intensity of nutrients!

Intense Juice packed with flavour!

  • Two large pak choi leaves
  • Four or five kale leaves and stalks
  • Four catalogna leaves
  • Three red cabbage leaves
  • Half a pointed red pepper
  • Two stalks of celery
  • One green apple
  • A nub of turmeric (as thick as tip of your baby finger)
  • Half a lemon
  • A slice of ginger ( half cm thick)
  • Optional: one small clove of garlic
  • Optional: A dash of water kefir

As I said this is Intense! If you think your palette or your system is not ready for it yet you can A: reduce the green leaves by half  B: Dilute the juice. C: Come back to it another time 🙂

The catalogna are bitter green leaves, “bitters” stimulate the digestion. All the greens are filled with energising chlorophyll. The cabbage’s red colouring is an antioxidant. Along with the greens it is a massive source of vitamin K. This juice gives an intense hit of B vitamins, vitamin C, glutamine,potassium, the enzyme superoxide dismutase with a massive etc. The addition of the lemon, turmeric, ginger and garlic gives it anti-inflammatory,antibacterial and extra anti-oxidant properties. It also does taste lovely!

P.S. Even the pulp is amazing looking!

It's ALIVEEEEEEEEE!

Water Kefir is alive and growing! Doubled since my last post. Just giving it a large dessertspoon of raw whole cane sugar- rapadura/ turbinado, a dessertspoonful of organic golden caster sugar and a couple of slices of organic ginger. Takes about two and a half days to ferment. Billions of live bacteria!

Paddy's Day

I’m always a day late with “days”. Twitter got it first. Had a green drink on the night. Wheatgrass, celery and green apple
