If you've been a less-than-perfect person this weekend then look no further than the juice recipes below.
Created by blogger Saskia Gregson Williams, they're from her new cookbook Naturally Sassy. Sassy is a dancer and thinks we should 'embrace food the way nature made it - completely unrefined and unprocessed.' Which is probably exactly what you need after this week's antics.
Anyways, here's three super healthy juices to bring you back to life.
The Perfect Green Juice
2 eating apples
1 cucumber
2 handfuls of broccoli florets
4 stalks of celery
2 handfuls of spinach
2 handfuls of chopped kale
Juice of lemon
1 thumbnail-sized knob of fresh root ginger, peeled
Wash the apples and vegetables thoroughly, then put through a juicer with the remaining ingredients –and enjoy!
Try replacing the apple with a pear or 400g (2 cups) of peeled and chopped fresh pineapple. You can also replace the kale and spinach with the same quantity of any seasonal leafy greens. And, instead of the lemon, why not try a lime! (You’d need the juice of 1 lime for the ½ lemon here.)
Carrot, orange and turmeric tonic
3 medium-sized carrots
2 medium-sized oranges, peeled
1 thumbnail-sized knob of fresh root ginger, peeled
Teaspoon turmeric
Wash or peel the carrots and put through a juicer with the oranges and ginger. Place the turmeric in a glass with a drop of water and mix into a paste, then slowly pour in the juice, stirring as you go. This ensures that the juice remains lovely and smooth, and not lumpy, as it would if you added the turmeric to the juice after pouring it out.
Why not try sweet potatoes or beetroot instead of the carrots, or swap the oranges for apples or pears?
Sunshine smoothie
1 mango, peeled, stoned and cubed
1 banana, peeled, sliced and frozen
Juice of 1 orange
Extras (optional)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 tablespoons (gluten-free) rolled oats
1 tablespoon cashew butter
Add everything to a high-powered blender or a food processor and blend.
