Apples from the garden.
This autumn I've been juicing lots of apples and celery.
I love to add an apple to my vegetable juices to sweeten them up. And to make fantastic ginger beer using fresh apples, celery, lemon, and ginger.
My current favorite juice is this divine apple, celery, and beetroot juice that strangely reminds me of blackcurrant juice, and has been known to make my husband sing!
Fresh Autumn Juice
Ingredients - Serves 2-3
- 4 apples
- 6 stems of celery
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 small beetroot
How to make
- Wash and core the apples.
- Wash the celery and beetroot.
- Cut the rind off the lemon.
- Slice everything so it fits your juicer.
- Juice and enjoy.
Tip: There's no need to peel the beetroot, especially if the skin is nice and thin. If the top's gone a bit woody then I cut it off.

Blending v. Juicing
I love to drink both juices and smoothies.Juices are fiber free and very easy for the body to digest. It is easy to make delicious fresh juice from a wide range of fruit and vegetables. Juice is great at keeping the body well hydrated.
Smoothies on the other hand are rich in fiber. The fiber can act like a sponge drawing toxins from the body and helping to keep the colon clean and regular. I like to make smoothies from whole fruit and fresh greens.
Can you recommend a good book on blending for health?
If you'd like to learn more about blending for health the two books I recommend are:
- The Blending Book: Maximizing Nature's Nutrients: How to Blend Fruits and Vegetables for Better Health
: Written by raw food pioneer Ann Wigmore it has recipes for both sweet and savory smoothies, plus lots of info on the living foods diet.
- "Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko": Loads of information on the nutritional importance of greens, plus smoothie recipes - 17 sweet green smoothies, and 6 savory ones.
You can visit the Green Smoothie Section of my website for lots of free info.
