Australia Green Juice
A stay at Golden Door in Australia (now known as the Elysia Wellness Retreat) gives your body a rest from red meat, alcohol, caffeine, sugar and saturated fat. Guests are less likely to go back to their usual excessive levels once they have had the opportunity to have a break from these foods and then reintroduce them sensibly and in moderation. One of the guests’ favorite recipes is this refreshing juice cocktail — Australia Green Juice. A nice refreshing and cleansing drink to enjoy during the day or as a light meal. Nutrient packed and a good source of fibre.

Each time I’ve made this — which I confess is only a few times a year — I am reminded that celery is such a good addition to smoothies and tonics, why don’t I use up my celery going limp in these drinks? I say it every time! It’s a tasty green juice. More interesting than the usual Green Stuff.
