Here is a healthy way to start your day.

Vegetable and fruit juices  are a great way to energise and  cleanse.  They  give  you a combination of vitamins and minerals that can be easily digested by the body.   Often these drinks are better at quenching your first than water, especially when served chilled. Here is a recipe for carrot, ginger and apple juice which is not only thirst-quenching but delicious. This juice drink is good for adults and children. However , children will only need a small cup full and you may want to dilute it so it is not too rich for them. Also remember to remove the seeds and core of  the apples.
