Beetroot salad: purple mania

 

Hi guys,

Ok it seems to be salad mania up in here! 

This is what I am dubbing my purple haze salad. It is super simple and very filling.
 I adore the colours, even though it is spring there is something very autumnal and harvest supper about it. No?

I have a weird thing about beetroot. Even weirder than my twice a year banana thing. Beetroot takes me back to primary school and having manky over cooked mushy beetroots, possibly with a strand of hair or 2.....ummm sexy.

Over the last few years I have been eating it more mainly shredded (seems to be the only way i will eat it)as it is super nutritious and high in anti oxidants.

My mum has been raving about beetroot for years but I never could bring myself to eat them, which is strange as purple is my favourite colour.

Ingredients:

Red beets

Chioggia beets (ringed beetroot)  

Carrots

 Sweet corn

Cherry tomatoes

Dressing:

1/2 x lemon

1/2x  lime

1 x tablespoon honey
1x dried chives
chili flakes -to taste
pinch of pepper and salt

Enjoy your bank holiday!

Juice em up ( day 3)- Juice recipe ideas

Hi Guys, here is the third instalment of my juice em up series and this dodgy mix is Carrot, orange and lime. It isn't the most attractive looking drink but it is really nice and gives you loads of energy especially when it starts to snow in April -_-.

Carrots, Cucumber, Orange and Lime

 

3 x Carrots 

1/2 x Cucumber

2 x squeezed oranges

1 1/2 squeezed limes

serves 3 pint glasses

Its simple and super refreshing.

P.S you can use the pulp as a mask, warm or cold. A little messy but your skin will glow!

Juice em up (day 2)- Juice recipe ideas

Hey dolls, So this is second post for my Juice em up series and its another quick and easy one. I had a load of carrots going to waste in the fridge and I decided to juice them up with a few celery sticks. My mum and I love this mix but my bro thinks we are weirdos and steers well clear lol. Ingredients below.

Carrot, Celery, Apples

8  x Carrots

4 x Celery sticks

2 x Apples

1/2  pint of water

You can strain the bits out for a smoother taste but the pulp does have a lot of nutrients in so I alternate between smooth and pulpy.

Try it out!
