Dark weather all day long, rain, cold wind, the birds stopped singing: winter can’t be far away. I feel like looking at colors… and drinking them to juice up my mood. I took what I could find in the refrigerator; beets, carrots en fennel. I grabbed apples and oranges and decided to make very simple, pure drinks. Oh, this beauty!
Color your mood!
I have to share these good mood juices. Even if you can almost predict by looking at them what they are. Some got a little twist.
Sweet Fennel Juice
Have you ever thought of drinking fennel just as it is? I mostly add it to salads or to mixed juices to sweeten and freshen it up. But eaten on its own it can be a quiet overwhelming after a while. As a juice though, you can’t get it enough. With its extraordinary anise flavor, it is like no other juice. A great choice if you are longing for a drink in the evening. You can leave that bottle of Ricard; juice a fennel and you have the same taste. With much more benefits! Fennel is very rich in phytoestrogens and therefor helping with a lot of issues such as…
- colic, wind, irritable bowel
- spleen
- liver
- lungs
- kidneys
- digestive system
- menstruation
- increased urine flow
Fennel Green
But fennel is also used to treat…
- asthma
- anxiety
- depression
- high blood pressure
- decreased libido
- coughs
- heartburn
And the list goes on. But let’s juice now and “feel” instead of read about benefits.
TOOLS YOU NEED
- A juicer
- A sharp knife and cutting board
INGREDIENTS
- One big fennel
THE MAKING OF…
Juice and enjoy heaven!
