Читать книгу Juice Master Keeping It Simple: Over 100 Delicious Juices and Smoothies - Jason Vale, Jason Vale - Страница 17

I love speaking at schools. My whole juicing philosophy of ‘if you can’t eat it – drink it’ is never more apt than when teaching kids healthy eating (or drinking, to be more accurate in this case). On one occasion I had to leave Cornwall at 2am in order to drive to a school in Ramsgate for 8.30am. I remember having only 1–2 hours’ sleep (if that) and thinking on the way: ‘Why did I agree to do this again?’ However, the second I started the talk and saw the transfixed looks on so many willing-to-learn kids’ faces, I knew why I had made the long journey. They were astonished by juicing and smoothie-making and they all had a go at making juice and tasting even the most vegetable of juices. Much to their, and the teacher’s, surprise, they loved them!

At the end of the session I threw open a competition. Whoever came up with the best recipe would get into my new book. Out of all the recipes I received this one stood out, for the way it was written more than anything else. It also tastes damn good.

‘Thank you for your talk. You really made me think. I approved of the vegetable juice that you served. I could see what you meant by the ‘earthy’ taste, but other than that, I thought it did taste like ‘liquid sunshine'. I also learned that a fruit smoothie is a perfect thing to wake up to in the morning. Thank you again for your talk.,
