Freshly squeezed juice is a staple in our home, not least because I can hide a multitude of green vegies amongst sweet in-season fruits. When fussy eating is rife I find much contentment in knowing that a bunch of kale has made its way into little bellies.

However, I honestly believe that less is more when it comes to winning fresh juice combos. I know the green smoothie bandwagon promotes an often daunting list of ingredients and most juice bars revel in their extensive range of fresh product but…sometimes three ingredients is all you need.

I wholeheartedly understood the value of a simple, fresh juice when we were in Bali. Basically, you have never truly experienced the joy of juice until you have sipped it on the Island of the Gods. Strawberry and lime juice – unbelievable! Papaya and mango juice – worthy of a mention on a postcard.

But my very favourite recipe (if you can call it that) was given to me by my naturopath a few years ago. This sweet and spicy concoction is a wonderful digestive aid and is best sipped before the evening meal. As a bonus, it satisfies sweet cravings and cleanses the palate.
