So here I am for the next two weeks, drifting from place to place catching up with old friends and kicking it with the fam. Its interesting how life changes when you're not at home, first your mum starts buying a different brand of peanut butter (wtf mum) and then there's a whole new person living in your house (dads new girlfriend) integrating cat soap dispensers into your very chic minamalistic modern interiors scheme. Anyway I'm not going to rant about that because this trip is actually about cleansing the sole of urban pollutants and obnoxious male characters.
What better way to kick off this holiday than with a fresh organic cleansing juice or thats what they told me...
Lets face it this isn't the kind of holiday where sleep ins and buffet breakfasts are permitted, in fact the main aim of this time away is to juice as many obscure plants as possible and get my brother to take photos of me pretending to enjoy it. The things we do in the name of detoxification.
So on the way home from the airport we stopped of at The Natural Foodstore in Forest Glen to stock up on heaps of leafy organic fruit and veggies.
One of the things i've learnt from some very wise Bondi hipsters back in Sydney is that the only thing better than green (theres something better than green?) is purple. So if it's available to you (I've never seen a purple anything at my local Aldi in my life) then buy it! Apparently the stuff works wonder for your insides.
The first juice I decided to make included the following veggies and fruits below:
- Lemon - hand picked from our tree
- Orange
- Apple
- Purple carrot
- Celery
- Purple Kale
- Ginger
- Spinach
- Zucchini
- Lime
So as you can see I pretty much chose to put the whole contents of my fridge into this juice - thats why i'm calling this potent creation the Super Man Repeller Juice.
Make sure you get heaps of the purple stuff that you wouldn't usually touch with a 10 inch pole in, it will give you a radiant glow like a giant inflamed pimple.
And ta daaa! Looks relatively appealing hey? - or is that just my delicious crystal clear pool...
If your juice looks brown and murky like mine you know you've made yourself a Super Man Repeller Juice! Cheers...
What better way to test if this juice really lives up to its name than by feeding it to a man. My brother may only be 16 years old but at 6'2" we're pretty sure he inherited gigantism from my dads side of the family. Here man boy drink from the swamp coloured fountain of youth.
Admittedly it wasn't as bad as we were both expecting but i'm not going to lie the after taste really packed the punch!
Surprisingly enough I wasn't faking my enthusiasm to pour a second glass in this photo below. But since i'm catching up with my ex boyfriend next week theres plenty of time for that ;)
Oh it's lovely being home...
