Freshly extracted apple, beetroot, broccoli, celery, cucumber, pineapple and lime juice

Raw beetroot is not on top of most kids’ wish lists on the food front, but it is unbelievably good for them. Once again, this is where juicing comes into its own. When you juice raw beetroot it gives a gorgeous deep red colour and the taste is surprisingly sweet. It’s not one you would drink on its own, but mixed with a few other veg and a serving of fruit, you can fool any kid into believing that they are having a nice berry juice! Reddy, Steady, Go! is a wonderful recipe, full of veg, yet it tastes like fruit – a parent’s dream. Designed to get the kids ‘ready’ for anything; to have a ‘steady’ supply of nature’s fuel going into their systems and to give them that juice ‘go'.

2 apples (Golden Delicious or Royal Gala) 1 small raw beetroot 1 small broccoli stem ½ celery stick 1 inch slice cucumber ½ inch slice pineapple (diced to fit into feeder) 1 lime (peeled) ice

Put one apple in the chute followed by the beetroot, broccoli, celery, cucumber, pineapple, lime and then ‘sandwich’ with the other apple. Juice the lot, then add ice to cool. All juices taste better when cool, especially veggie ones!

Juicy Note: You can juice pineapple with the skin on, it just depends if your juicer can take it. Oh, and don’t forget to wash it well.

Look what’s in it! Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, C and E, iron, calcium, sodium, manganese, chlorine, bioflavonoids, potassium, folic acid, boron, ellagic acid, carotenes, amino acids, natural sugars and anti-oxidants.

How will it juice the little ones? Beetroot is one of nature’s finest blood builders. The nutrients in this juice are good for young brain function, great for their growing bones, extremely hydrating (an excellent natural diuretic); they are also antibacterial, help with constipation, and are excellent for nails, hair and skin. This is an all-round amazing juice.

Juicy Note: If your kids’ ‘poo’ turns red, don’t panic – it’s the beetroot. (Of course, if this should continue, see your GP.)
