How d'you Juice with no Juicer???

What a labour of love!!!

Yesterday my belly was feeling a bit weird.

I refered to Richard Anderson's cleanse book to make sure I wasn't damaging myself in anyway, and it seems its quite normal to have reactions and a sign that you're body is in need of a good clean out!

Anyone I know would probably say... yes but you're so healthy blah blah... and I am, but I can feel that's there's lots of toxic residue in my body from most of my life before I became more healthy...

So am sticking with it... it was suggested in the book that I need to increase the amount of 'elecrolytes'... essential minerals such as sodium, magnesium, calcium, potassium etc from an organic source ie vegetable as oppose to rocks..., ie from fresh juices... so until my juicer arrives I decided to be a bit inventive...

I had some rocket in the fridge from the farmers market, so chucked that in the blender with some water... grated a carrot and chucked that in, whizzed it all up and then strained off the juice! Voila! some scary green juice...

It actually tasted pretty foul.... really green tasting, so put some fresh ginger juice and some lemon juice in to make it a bit more palatable....

Actually felt loads better from it too...

Just ordered a bag of juicable fruit and veg (the juicing module) from
www.farmaround.co.uk
which I get next tuesday...

more positive today.

ps... to make Ginger Juice:

Grate some ginger and then squeeze in your hand.
It's amazing how much juice comes out... then you don't have to worry about the horrible fibrousy bits...
Also really nice to add to soups at the end of cooking.
