Bean good

Beansprouts are a highly nutritious food, bursting with vitamins B and C, and they are one of the few vegetables that actually increase in goodness after they are picked. Although mild in flavour, their juiciness works well in any nourishing blend. Mixed with broccoli, another superfood, and naturally sweet fruits, this blend is a real tonic for your skin, hair and general health.

Makes 1 large or 2 small glasses
90g/3 1/2 oz broccoli
1 large pear
90g/3 1/2 oz/scant 1/2 cup beansprouts
200g/7 oz green grapes
ice cubes and sliced green grapes

1 Using a small, sharp knife cut the broccoli into pieces small enough to fit through a juicer funnel.

2 Quarter the pear and carefully remove the core, then roughly chop the flesh into small chunks.

3 Push all the ingredients through the juicer. Pour into glasses and serve with ice cubes and sliced green grapes.

Cook's tip
When juicing fruits and vegetables, always use the freshest ingredients you can find; that way the juice will have maximum flavour and you'll get additional health benefits. If at all possible, use organic produce. This is a bit more expensive but is definitely worth it — you can really taste the difference and your body will reap the rewards.
