Our New Baby - Kenwood Juice Extractor

Today we bought a new juicer - Kenwood Juice Extractor Model JE 660. The current one that we have has a very small feeder - so it takes more laborious time to cut the fruits and vegetables into smaller sizes to fit into the feeder. Since we are using the juicer everyday, we thought it'd be great to invest in a better juicer. So, we were just looking around at Best Denki, Suria KLCC and we spotted this baby - and it was sold at a very good discount - RM 199! Wow, we thought that is a great bargain for a Kenwood Juicer and bought it straight away. This one has a big feeder which can fit an entire apple - which will save me so much time early in the morning! It feels great to start a brand new year with a new juicer :)

Refreshing Green Juice

This time, the green juice tasted much better - with cucumber, celery, and green apples in it - so refreshing and has a mood-boosting effect early in the morning.

Multi-Fruit Smoothie

Today morning's smoothie: 2 kiwis, 1 mango, watermelon, and 1 dragonfruit. Refreshingly delicious!

Fresh Fruit Juice

Freshly squeezed carrots, red apples, green apples, yellow pears and oranges - sweet and refreshing - a perfect way to start the day.

Freshly Squeezed Green Juice

Today's morning juicing: Freshly squeezed green juice comprising of: cucumber, brocolli, spinach, organic Chinese cabbage, kacang botol (winged bean) and kailan (Chinese kale). To be honest, unlike most of the other fruit and carrot juices I have made, this one was pretty hard to ingest. The first time I sipped it, it tasted like a glass of freshly-mown grass juice - YUCKS. I had to hold my breath and force myself to gulp the juice down. Alfred almost gagged after having the first sip. I think it takes some time to get use to the taste. But the immense health benefits of alkaline green juice far outweights the taste.

Mango-Soursop-Pear Smoothie

Today's breakfast booster is Mango-Soursop-Pear smoothie. It's packed with nutrition and fibre and fills the stomach for the morning.

Cucumber-Mixed Fruits Juice

A refreshing start of a brand new day: Cucumber with mixed fruits juice.

• 2 cucumbers
• 2 yellow pears
• Pineapple slices
• 1 orange
  

Soursop-Orange Juice

Freshly squeezed soursop and orange juice - it's silky smooth and creamy - delicious!

Banana-Orange Smoothie

Lusciously thick and filling - a wholesome start of a brand new day.

Dragon Fruit-Melon Smoothie

Dragon-fruit + Water melon = Delicious-sweet-n-refreshing-combo!

Sweet Green Juice

Today's fruit-n-veggie juice: 1 whole cucumber, 2 red apples, and 2 green apples. It's raw and green - a refreshingly perfect way to start the morning.

Tangy Smoothie

Today's smoothie: Orange, Tomatoes & Banana Smoothie - it's refreshing, tangy and a booster early in the morning.

Breakfast this morning: Oatmeal with milk, almond, dates, and flaxseed - the crunchy almonds and the sweet dates are perfect complements to the otherwise bland oatmeal.

Banana-Watermelon Smoothie

Today's morning smoothie: Banana & watermelon - sweet, delicious & refreshing.

Watermelon-Orange Smoothie

Today's smoothie: Watermelon & Orange smoothie - a refreshing start for a brand new day. It's best to use oranges and watermelon to make smoothie - so that you don't lose the fibrous matter of these fruits. Basic things you need to make a smoothie: fresh fruits and a food blender.

Dragon Fruit Smoothie

After coming back from Ai Lin's church wedding, we were craving for some smoothies. So we made ourselves dragon fruit smoothie - it's yummy-licious and so refreshing - and it's a mood-booster.

Herewith is the recipe:
- 1 ripe dragon fruit (the one we bought is with the pink flesh)
- 1/4 cup yogurt (depends on how sour/creamy you want your smoothie to be)
- 1/2 cup soy bean or low-fat milk
- Crushed ice
