Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

Green

1 bunch Swiss chard or kale, rinsed and ribs removed
2 Granny Smith apples
½ English cucumber
1 lime, peeled and pith removed
25 fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 T honey

Orange

3 large carrots, rinsed and scrubbed
2 oranges, peeled and quartered
1 ripe medium pineapple, peeled and cored

Red

2 large beetroot, rinsed
2 ripe medium pineapples, peeled and cored
4 T cranberry juice

Serve with:

2 cups crushed ice
6 scoops granadilla sorbet

Method

1. Use a juicer to juice all the different fruits and veg according to their different colour themes, each in their own jugs. Start with the green, then orange, ending with the red.

2. Place the crushed ice into kid-friendly glasses and pour the different coloured juices into each. Top with a scoop of granadilla sorbet. Serve with a paper straw in each glass.

Cook's note: These are great juices packed with lots of vitamins and minerals. I often mix them with sparkling water to dilute slightly and to give them a little fizz.
