At the beginning of the year I bought myself a Kenwood Juicer.
I had originally gone out to get myself the latest in technology and the best of all fruit juicer...
When I saw the prices, I came back down to earth with a bump and took a sturdy Kenwood.

Over the past few months I have been following a great Weight Loss programme with Pete Cohen. This is what enticed me to buy the juicer. If any of you out there need a bit of coaching to lose the extra weight then I strongly suggest Pete's programme. No need to deprive yourselves of anything, it's all about reprogramming your mind to knowing what's best for you.

He helped me lose 10 kilos... I still have a few hanging on to my hips, but I feel so much better.

This morning I decided to make myself a yummy fruit juice to take to work.
2 Apples
1 Pear
1/4 of a Pineapple
1 bunch of grapes
I pushed all of these through the juicer and put the juice in my blender, adding
1 handful of Raspberries
1 handful of Blueberries
Freshly pressed juice of two oranges

Once all of this was blended I passed it through a sieve as the blueberries and raspberries tend to leave some gritty bits in the juice.

I think I might add a Fruit Juice category to my recipes in the future.  Food for thought!
