Default Re: What does 5 a day actually mean

Yes a whole pineapple every day! Depends on the efficiency of the juicer on how much liquid you get from it but a good one (personally i use a Matstone juicer) can squeeze half, to three quarters of a litre out of a fresh pineapple.
Topped up with orange juice and chilled, sipping throughout the day.

Kiwi turns the liquid green (which might be fun for kids maybe) yet doesn't really change the overall taste.
And grapes for the skin, for me at least, are amazing things. The back of my arms can be a bit rough sometimes but if i have some of the above juice and eat whole seedless grapes then within 12=24hrs my skin is smooth again!
Most juicers have books/booklets with them that give recipes and the pineapple/orange combo seems to be popular!
Strawberry slush puppies (using the icing attachment many juicers have) are lovely in the summer too!
