Good Morning Body Juice
¼ fennel bulb
1 apple
½ pear
4 sprigs mint
6 sprigs parsley
1cm (½ inch) fresh ginger, peeled
1 tsp Pure Synergy (or other living green food)
Wash all the fruit and vegetables (ideally these should be organic). Cut into chunks and feed into the juicer. Alternating the ingredients will help prevent your juicer getting clogged up. Add the living green food into the juice and mix well with a fork to help dissolve the powder. If you are not used to fresh ginger, you may want to use less to begin with.

Body Blender Breakfast
2 dessertspoons porridge oats
1 dessertspoon wheat germ
3 semi-dried prunes
1 teaspoon ground flaxseeds
1 dessertspoon lecithin granules
Sprinkle of nutmeg (or cinnamon if you prefer)
2 tsp pumpkin seeds
½ apple or pear, chopped, or a few strawberries
Place the oats, wheat germ, prunes, ground flaxseeds, lecithin and nutmeg in a measuring jug and top up to 200ml (7fl oz) with boiling water. Leave to soak for at least 20 minutes. Now may be a good time to take a shower or bath.
It’s a good idea to prepare to this stage when you are making your Body Cleanse Elixir Drink. Alternatively, you can prepare this the night before.
After 20 minutes the mixture should be quite thick. Pour into a blender. Rinse out the measuring jug with a further 100ml (3fl oz) of hot water to mop up any leftover nutrients and add to the mixture in the blender. Blend for 60 seconds or until smooth.
Pour into a bowl, sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds and fruit. Add more warm water if you want a runnier consistency.
Eat while warm as it’s easier to digest and more satisfying. Enjoy!
