Yesterday Andrea bought a Juicer for me! We had a voucher because of returned goods in a home appliance store so...there it is!
Therefore this morning I was looking for nice and healthy recipes to share with you.
First of all use the best quality produce you can get, great if it's organic or sustainably grown. If that's not happening, wash it gently, but thoroughly.
