Love Potion Juice

Description

Strawberries in juice are amazing and combine perfectly with watermelon. They both have a beautiful aroma and are fruity, sweet, and juicy.

Strawberries are shaped like a love heart and it turns out they are actually great for heart health and can significantly improve platelet function which prevents blood cells from becoming “sticky”. In addition, strawberries lower LDL “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides, which are both risk markers of heart disease.

I named this juice recipe Love Potion because when you try it I know you will love it.

Makes a great juice to have for breakfast.

Taste

Fruity, and sweet.

Ingredients

  • 1/8 watermelon

  • 1/2 pineapple

  • 200g strawberries

Juicing Time: 6 mins
Juice Qty: 1200 ml
Serves: 4


Preparation

Watermelon

  • Thinly slice the outer green skin leaving most of the white flesh intact

  • Cut the melon into slices about two fingers wide

  • Cut the slices into long strips about three fingers wide

Pineapple

  • Slice off the outer skin

  • Cut into long thin strips to fit down the chute

  • Chop the core into small chunks

Strawberry

  • Pull off the small green leaves

  • Juice whole


Method

Start with the strawberries as they will coat the strainer in the juicer and add more strawberry flavour to the other ingredients that get pushed through it.

You can add them in handfuls as they juice easily.

Next juice the watermelon by adding a piece or two at a time. You can go quickly as they also juice easily.

Add the pineapple pieces next one at a time but leave the core pieces until last to help push everything through.

 

Tip: if you don’t have fresh strawberries you can use thawed frozen ones

Enjoy!
