Beverages
I don't drink alcohol, never have and never will. I hate the taste of it (and the effect it has on people). I prefer healthy juices and smoothies instead and I love home made teas as well. Smoothies can be filling and are perfect for a healthy start to the day. Freshly squeezed juices are refreshing and perfect on a hot summer's day.
A Drink for Sore Throats
I don't get a sore throat often and I rarely ever get a flu or a cold (thankfully).
A Very Sticky Nairobi Banana Smoothie
Oh dear, oh dear. It was September 2007 and me and my husband were travelling in Kenya. We were waiting to fly back to London and had a couple of hours to spend.
Apple and Grape Juice
This is one of the shortest recipe on my website. Short doesn't have to be bad though, right? This is a very refreshing and lovely drink, especially in summer.
Avocado and Brazil Nut Smoothie
This smoothie is very filling, almost like a full meal. It is packed with fibre, protein, vitamins A, C and E, calcium and healthy, mono-unsaturated fats.
Avocado and Pineapple Smoothie
This is an excellent smoothie for the whole family. The pineapple contains Bromelain which is an enzyme that helps the digestive system.
Banana and Coconut Smoothie
This is a very filling, yet tasty smoothie which has a strong coconut taste. You can dilute the coconut taste if you prefer, by using half soy milk and half coconut milk.
Banana and Date Smoothie
One night, when home alone (Jóhannes was on a business trip in Portugal) I looked into my fridge and there was nothing in it apart from soy yoghurt and nail polish.
Beet and Apple Detox Juice
This is a fantastically healthy juice, packed with vitamins and antioxidants.
Blueberry and Coconut Water Smoothie
What can I say.....if there was a competition for the most healthy drink, this would probably get first prize...and the second...and the third...It would also receive an honorary award for being ex
Blueberry Tea
This is my favourite tea when blueberries are in season although I often make it with frozen blueberries as well.
Breakfast in a Glass
I know some people that are not keen on breakfasts and I have often told them that it is not a very good idea to start the day without filling your muscles and brain with energy.
Carrot and Celery Juice
Carrots and celery are a classic combination in the juice world and no wonder, I think it is amazing.
Carrot and Fruit Juice
This is more like a smoothie or a thick juice since the pear and nectarine are blended in a food processor or blender. You can also juice the fruits if you prefer a thinner juice.
Celery, Beet and Carrot Juice
If you are not into healthy eating, this drink probably might be a source of nightmares...it contains everything that "normal" people hate such as celery and beets (just add Brussel sprouts to comp
Cleansing Citrus Juice
When I was making this drink for the first time it reminded me so much of Kenya. The reason for that is that in Kenya you get green oranges.
Cleansing Iron Rich Smoothie
This smoothie is particularly good for women since it is packed with iron from the beets (beetroots) and folic acid which is important for pregnant women.
Cleansing Pear, Carrot and Ginger Juice
This is a fantastic juice which I absolutely love and make several times each month.
Cooling Watermelon Drink from Mombasa
I will never forget the time we arrived in Diani Beach, Mombasa (Kenya), 2006. It was spring and the sun was absolutely baking.
Crowberry and Ginger Smoothie
During my childhood, every autumn my parents picked crowberries and blueberries.
Date and Apricote Smoothie
This is a healthy and filling drink, which I find perfect when I come home from the gym, especially at weekends.
Ginger Drink
This is a very refreshing drink, especially in the summer time, or when you have a cold. It is also good if you are detoxing.
