Apple Free!

It's very exciting to realise that people are actually reading my blog, and that it is prompting some discussions about what to juice, what tastes good, what people hate to juice, and interestingly, what people are allergic to. 
In a recent conversation, the issue of an allergy to apples came up, and I realised that nearly all my posts (with the exception of the Very Berry Smoothie) contained apples;  with good reason, I might add, as apple juice is superbly good for you - rich in beta-carotene, folic acid and vitamin C, calcium, chlorine, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur!
However, if you're allergic to apples that doesn't really help! So, Dave, this weeks juice contains no apple, but is still choc full of goodies to keep you firing on all cylinders.
In fact, this weeks juice is more of a protective one.  There have been a number of people complaining of sore throats this week, so if you're one of them, try this and see if it helps!

Cucumber Soother
3 carrots
2 sticks celery
1 small pineapple
6 fresh sage leaves
Half a cucumber

The healing properties of carrots combine well with the soothing effect of cucumber on the mucous membranes, and the diuretic action of celery reduces swelling of the tonsils, adenoids and throat.  Add sage, which is powerfully antiseptic and a traditional remedy for all mouth and throat problems and, ladies and gentlemen, you have a winner!

Happy Juicing
