Banana and Mango Smoothie
1 ripe banana
1 ripe mango (or ¼ cantaloupe melon), peeled and pitted
300ml (½ pint, 1¼ cups) skimmed milk
Blend all ingredients together until smooth. Can be frozen. Serves 2
Actually what I do is blend a banana and a mango with some milk, then add more milk to get the "right" consistency. Sometimes "right" is quite runny, sometimes it's thick - depends on the mood. A thicker consistency can also be used as a sauce for ice cream etc.
Carrot, Apple & Ginger
From http://www.ukjuicers.com/knowledge/recipes
8 Medium Carrots
2 Apples (Cox's, Royal Gala or Braeburn)
Slice of root Ginger (to taste)
Carrot, Apple & Ginger makes a delicious starting point for those who have never tried vegetable juices. It has superb nutritional qualities: carrots are a good source of Vitamin A and Beta Carotenes, providing anti-ageing and cancer-fighting antioxidants. Apples have an abundance of pectin which forms a gel that breaks down toxins in the intestines and helps maintain a healthy bowel function. Ginger is an excellent tonic for the entire digestive system. In fact, Carrot & Apple is a staple drink of the Gerson Institute of Cancer Therapy.
This drink can be easily made with any fruit & vegetable juicer from our range. Carrots need to form the majority of the juice otherwise the flavour of the apples will dominate. The ginger provides a nice touch of spice, but use it sparingly - it's powerful stuff!
Carrot & Spinach
From http://www.ukjuicers.com/knowledge/recipes
6 Medium Carrots
100-150g Fresh Spinach
Carrots are one of the richest possible sources of Vitamin A and also contain an abundance of Vitamins B, C, D, G, E and K. Spinach is probably the most vital food for the entire digestive tract. It is naturally abundant in Vitamins C and E as well as iron and folic acid, which provide excellent blood building properties and help protect the body against anaemia.
With the above factors taken into account, Carrot & Spinach is an extremely nutritionally beneficial combination. It is also (surprisingly to some) very pleasant tasting.
Whichever juicer is being used it is normally best to feed a small amount of spinach followed by carrot. If using the Champion Juicer it is best to actually feed the spinach with the carrot. This juice also works well if carrot is replaced by apple. The pectin in the apples and folic acid in the spinach make a combination that is particularly effective in removing built-up plaque from the intestines.
Apple, Pear & Lime
From http://www.ukjuicers.com/knowledge/recipes
3 Apples (Cox's, Gala or Braeburn)
2 Pears ½ a Lime
This juice is simple but refreshing and delicious. As well as containing carotenes, pectin, potassium and Vitamin C from the apples, the pears provide an excellent source of soluble fibre.
Simply juice the ingredients in any combination. Peel the lime before juicing, but if you want more zest in the drink, leave some peel on
Carrot, Greens and Hemp Milk
From http://www.ukjuicers.com/knowledge/recipes
40-50g of Hemp seeds (preferably germinated)
4 Medium Carrots
100g Spinach
2 Sticks of Celery
Fresh Rosemary (optional)
Hemp is one of the most nutritionally complete foods available and is rich in Omega 3,6 and 9 Essential Fatty Acids. It is also an excellent source of protein. To get the best out of hemp it needs to be thoroughly washed and it is often a good idea to soak the seeds for 8-12 hours to start germination, and perhaps even to sprout them as this can increase nutrient availability.
This drink is best made with a twin gear juicer. A small amount of hemp should be placed in the feeding chamber and fed down with harder produce. To really break down the hemp it is best to re-feed the pulp once or twice.
Pomegranate & Orange
From http://www.ukjuicers.com/knowledge/recipes
5 Oranges (Valencia if possible)
2 Pomegranates
Pomegranate and Orange tastes exquisite and is deliciously refreshing at any time of day. As most people know, oranges are an excellent source of Vitamin C. They also contain bioflavinoids, calcium and Vitamin B6 among others. Pomegranates contain beta-carotenes, heart-protecting phytochemicals and Vitamin E.
You'll need a powerful Manual Citrus Press like the Orange X juicer to make this drink.
Wheatgrass Zinger

A Wheatgrass Zinger provides an excellent introduction to wheatgrass and may be preferable for those who aren't too keen on the intensity of straight wheatgrass juice!
Simply juice the wheatgrass in the appropriate juicer followed by the remaining ingredients. Sip it slowly and enjoy!

Smoothies are a delicious way to conveniently introduce large portions of fruit into the diet and comprise a simple, nutritious meal in a glass.
