a few simple recipes to get you started
energiser
Fruit and vegetables like apricots, apples and carrots have natural sweetness and make excellent energy drinks. To make them even more energising, add a little honey and wheatgerm. This combination makes a great breakfast substitute if you've no time to eat in the morning. It can
also be used as an occasional meal replacement. |

2 carrots | small measure of cold milk |
3 apricots | 1 tsp wheatgerm |
2 apples | 1 tsp honey |
Top and tail the carrots. Don't peel the apricots or apples. Halve the apricots and remove the stones. Chop the fruit to fit, then use the pusher to push down the tube. Mix with milk to taste, add the honey and wheatgerm and stir.
