And finally...

Here are the last last three juices from the 6 categories, and one smoothie that I just made today. It was mighty delicious, so I thought I'd include it!

4) Circulation
Ingredients
2 Bananas
250ml Unsweetened Soya/Rice Milk
2 tablespoons Bio-Live yoghurt/Soya yoghurt
1 teaspoon Cocoa powder
1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
(If you want to be a little bit risky and experiment, put a little bit of chopped red chilli in this juice to really get your blood pumping!)

Put the bananas, milk and yoghurt in a blender, and mix until smooth. Then place on the hob in a pan and heat until simmering.

Add the cocoa, cinnamon (and chilli, if you're a braver soul than I am), mix well and enjoy. Alternatively, place all ingredients in a blender and enjoy cold.

5) Positive Thinking
Ingredients
3 apples
2 oranges, squeezed
1 lemon, squeezed (the smell alone of citrus fruits is meant to increase our feeling of well-being, hence why many household cleaning products have a citrus fragrance!)
Half a head of lettuce (I use iceberg, but it's up to you)

If using a juicer, then put the apple and lettuce through, then squeeze in the lemon and oranges and drink. In a blender, chop up the apple and lettuce first.
Lettuce is known to have soporific and calming effects, which is great for positive thinking and well-being!

6) Healing
Ingredients
6 strawberries
2 kiwis
Handful of blueberries (packed full of antioxidants!!)
2 passion fruits
200ml of Pomegranate juice

Then just blend the fruit, and add the juice.

Finally, here's a quick smoothie I made today. Sorry for the inexact measurements, I made it by eye and taste:

Berry Cherry Delicious
Ingredients
A punnet of raspberries
A handful of cherries
6 strawberries
Small cup of crushed ice
2 tablespoons fat free Greek yoghurt
1 - 2 tablespoons honey (depending how sweet you want it to be)

Blend and enjoy!

Hope you like these, they're such a great way to get huge helpings of fruit and veg without even realising you're doing so!
