So.... on Sunday our kettle packed in and first thing on Monday morning the boyfriend headed out to our local supermarket to pick up another in it's place. Being a man, he failed at this mission but came home armed with a new juicer instead. I don't think it's the best juicer.... and in hindsight I would have preferred to spend more on something a bit more substantial... but hey, we're juicing noobs so anything will do for now! He picked up the Philips Viva Collection Juicer, a cute and compact white and green number - here's how we got on!
My boyfriend, Glenn, made himself a super healthy juice with 1 1/2 apples, 1/4 lemon with rind, 2 sticks of celery, half a naval orange, 1 carrot, half a thumb sized piece of ginger. He claims this was delicious... but personally anyone who enjoys the taste of celery is questionable in my books.....
Because I couldn't stomach this juice, I made a MUCH tastier juice with 1 pear, 1 apple, a handful of strawberries and raspberries, half a carrot, some pepper, 1 tomato, half a naval orange and half a lemon with rind. The result was actually pretty tastier and SO much easier to drink than homemade smoothies which tend to be way too bitty - this was silky smooth!
I'm excited to get a lot more use out of our juicer - if you have any recommendations for recipes please let me know!

Haha love it, not quite a kettle though ;) I still think I'd prefer a good cuppa in the morning. Though I do like smoothies and juice. While I do make my own smoothies, I've never tried juicing.
