Runner's Brew

One glass & you will feel different--more energy, more awake, clearer head--in just 15 minutes!

Over the years I've experimented with vege juice recipes in order to come up with one which has a great taste and has all the ingredients to boost energy levels, boost the immune system, & to protect joints (particularly one's knees) from injury while running. Here's what I came up with...

Using a juicer process the following:

• 1 large silver-beet leaf, green part only
• 1 small beetroot
• 2.5 cm ginger root
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 small lemon, skin off
• 2 sticks celery [this is an important ingredient as it lubricates joints]
• 2 small apples
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 1 Lebanese cucumber or other variety cut to the same size
• 4 medium carrots, topped & tailed--I add extra carrots as required to fill the juice jug

Makes ~1 litre--store any you don't drink right away in a sealed container in the fridge.
