Smoothies for the Soul
The Soulshine cafe in Bridport is well known for good food , relaxed vibe and some of the nicest smoothies anywhere from its juice bar , headed up by Georgia Frost . She ’ s been supplying the good people of Bridport with fresh juices and smoothies for two years and also runs juicing classes and group workshops . ( Contact the café for details .)
Here are Georgia ’ s smoothie tips plus two of her prized recipes …
When juicing , sandwich softer fruits between harder fruits to pass them through the juicer more efficiently .
When bananas are ripe cut them into pieces and freeze them for your smoothies , they have a creamier texture this way .
Don ’ t make your juices and smoothies too complicated with too many ingredients , simple is best !
Set up your juicer in a nice clean dedicated space in your kitchen , always ready to go .
