a few simple recipes to get you started
energiser
Fruit and vegetables like apricots, apples and carrots have natural sweetness and make excellent
energy drinks. To make them even more energising, add a little honey and wheatgerm. This
combination makes a great breakfast substitute if you've no time to eat in the morning. It can
also be used as an occasional meal replacement.
2 carrots small measure of cold milk
3 apricots 1 tsp wheatgerm
2 apples 1 tsp honey
Top and tail the carrots. Don't peel the apricots or apples. Halve the apricots and remove the
stones. Chop the fruit to fit, then use the pusher to push down the tube. Mix with milk to taste,
add the honey and wheatgerm and stir.
stress buster

These are mainly the B group vitamins, Vitamin C, and the mineral calcium. This drink is rich in
these nutrients and could help to promote a feeling of calm and relaxation.
1 medium size parsnip half green pepper
small head of broccoli (including stalks) 2 carrots
1 medium size sweet potato 1 stick celery
Don't skin the sweet potato. Top and tail the carrots and parsnips. Chop to fit, then use the
