Last year my daughter became ill with a virus followed by post-viral chronic fatigue syndrome. We were encouraged by the hospital doctors to try holistic treatments to help her recovery. A friend mentioned Deliciously Ella and her inspiring story of healing her own post-viral illness by radically changing her diet to a clean vegan diet. We felt quite helpless as she wasn’t getting better despite trying many treatments so we tried to give her the very best healthy diet. As she wasn’t eating much at all at the time but was permanently thirsty we got the juicer out of the cupboard and started to juice every morning following the recipes in the Deliciously Ella app. Here is the recipe for one of my personal favourite, which is a slightly tweaked version of Ella’s recipe. I am happy to say she is now much better and almost back to her old self. We are still enjoying juices and smoothies every day.
Cleansing Orange, Kale and Lemon juice
1 orange – 4 medium carrots – a big handful of kale or spinach (organic if possible) – 1/2 lemon – 7 cm of cucumber (peeled if not organic) – a knob of ginger – 1 medium apple.
This makes a large glass for 1.
Peel the orange and the lemon.
Start by juicing the kale or spinach followed by the cucumber and then follow with all the other ingredients.
I sometimes add more ginger and a bit of fresh mint for extra ‘zing’. It is really delicious and will makes you feel great ! A perfect pick me up, full of goodness, a health booster in a glass. AM x
