George’s Marvellous Medicine

June 29

The title for this is inspired by the classic Roald Dahl story, although we can promise that it will taste a lot better and, although marvellous, won’t have quite the same effect! It’s essentially an alcoholic smoothie and is a great combination of dessert and after-dinner liqueur. Definitely not one for the kids. We like to serve this in little milk bottles with straws.

Frozen Fruit Smoothie

May 10

This smoothie has the ideal combination of sharp and sweet and provides the ice-cold hit that could wake anybody up. Don’t be tempted to add sugar or any extra sweetness, as the banana and apple juice will balance out any sharpness from the berries.

Ultimate Green Smoothie

January 06

Green smoothies are a tricky art from, get the balance of sweetness and bitterness wrong and you’re in for a whole world of pain. A recent visit to Green Beards juice shop in Ranelagh provided the inspiration for this one which is easily the best I have tried. Add whatever other vegetables you fancy (spinach or broccoli works well) but don’t skimp on the medjool dates as they add add a vital toffee-like sweetness.
