A Jumoothie is my name for drinks halfway between a juice and a smoothie. Apple Green has a sweet and slightly astringent taste that awakens the taste buds and feeds the good bacteria in your gut. With lots of fibre, this drink is also a good appetite suppressor crushing cravings. It will keep for hours after making it when it is stored in a fridge.
This jumoothie can be used as a deep cleanse, then you would drink this recipe in it’s entirety. For a softer approach, that I recommend in the Eat Well—Be Well Body Cleanse, then my recommendation is to make it in the morning, drink half of the recipe below as an alternative to coffee or tea. Save the other half for later. Keep it in the fridge. After a couple of hours, the jumoothie will have separated. This is OK. Simply give it a good stir before drinking.
Ingredients
Serves one—but often drunk as two glasses: one before eating breakfast and other before lunch.
- 1 sweet apple, cored
- Approx. 2 inches / 5 cm cucumber
- A small handful of spinach
- 1 medium stick of celery
- Nub of root ginger, peeled. Approx size—shape like the top of your thumb
- Juice of half a lemon
- 300 ml of cold water
METHOD
Place everything into a blender and blitz. Tip into a glass (or glasses if saving half for later) and enjoy 😊.
