Missing the summer heat? Warm yourself with…

A Sunshine Smoothie!!!

I’m just loving playing around with my juicer and blender at the moment, creating fabulously delicious smoothies from my juices, which makes them more filling and sustaining at a time of year when our bodies need more nourishment. This morning I was woken by howling winds and rain pounding on the windows – not a good start to the day! I’m seriously craving sunshine; not just for its warmth, but also its colour. This provided the inspiration for today’s juice/smoothie recipes.

Warming Sunshine Juice

4 carrots

2 oranges

2cm of fresh ginger (or more if you’re craving extra warmth!)

Juice all ingredients and savour – a beautiful orange colour with warmth provided by the ginger!

Warming Sunshine Smoothie

Take the juice above and blend with

2 bananas

2 sharon fruit

Eat with a spoon from your favourite glass, and dream of sunshine!

Warming Green Sunshine Smoothie

Take the smoothie above and blend with a large handful of your favourite greens – I used spinach.

Top with some of the leftover juice for a fancier appearance, and to retain some of that summer glow! Reminds me of summer sun over green fields!

Curl up and enjoy! Mmmmm!
