Healthy carr-lett juice

The heat and humidity is just soaring and its been really hard on my health. To top that haven't been getting enough sleep. However, I need to keep myself up and have enough strength to run behind my little one. I have been gulping down juice every few hours on weekend. Wanted to try something new and healthy. I had this iceberg lettuce in the fridge which needed to be used, I am not the one who likes salad, so I used it along with some carrots and made this nutritious refreshing juice.

How I Made :

Took Half iceberg lettuce and 1 big carrot along with some water and blended it. Strained it and added some honey and a pinch of salt, added some ice cubes and enjoyed the drink. May be next time I will add some mint to make it more refreshing. By the way iceberg lettuce is known to have mild opiate like effect which aids sleep, which I was in badly need of.

What happened to the strained pulp, it went into my dal.

Strawberry-orange smoothie

Hmm, it was one of those days when I wanted to drink something chilled ( in winter, with the temp below freezing outside). Opened the refrigerator and stared at the juices, apple- that's for Adwi, orange - a big gallon that Sri got but never finished it off. I didn't want any of those. My brain started to tickle a few seconds later, went back to the refrigerator, pulled out orange juice, some strawberries that were sitting there since a week.  To give a smooth texture added a scoop of vanilla ice cream and blended them all together with some ice cube and had a nice yummy drink at 11.00 pm.

While enjoying this refreshing drink, I was looking for more recipes to make use of the strawberries and came across a similar smoothie with coconut milk. Got to try it next time.
