Meena's Taste Mantra

ABC OLade - A great detoxifing, delicious juice!

Early morning we love to start the day with a refreshing glass of freshly made juice. Today I tried a different combination - Adrak, Bottlegourd, Carrot, Orange and Lemon! Bottlegourd | Lauki juice is a great way to detoxify, but sometimes the taste is not that welcoming! So I added some flavours that would enhance the taste and at the same time enrich the nutrition value too...

Amma, Appa and I had a wonderful time and feel totally recharged with this awesome drink! A great way to start the morning. This is quite filling and can satiate the hunger pangs for atleast 2 hours! The name for the juice was arrived at by a jovial discussion with Amma and Appa!

ABC OLade - A great detoxifying, delicious juice!

INGREDIENTS

1 Lauki | Bottlegourd

2 Carrots

1 Orange

1 Lemon's Juice

1/2 " Adrak | Ginger

METHOD

Wash Lauki, Gajar and Adrak. Peel and keep aside.
Peel Orange and keep aside.
In a juicer, add Gajar, then adrak, lauki and orange and juice them. We used Philips HR1858. You can also make this in a mixie. Just chop to big pieces, grind and seive them through a metal strainer.
Add lemon juice and mix well.
Serve fresh. This was sufficient for the three of us. One glass is approximately 150 ml.

Note:
a. You may add Ice Cubes if you wish.
b. To make it even more sweet, in case the oranges are sour, you may add few drops of honey.
