MELLOW YELLOW
Fresh turmeric has a warm, earthy flavour that adds more of a kick when raw. If you’re new to juicing with it, start by adding a little to this smoothie, taste and add more if you want a stronger hit of spice. And remember: turmeric stains, so chop it on a board you can wash up straight away (a little lemon juice can work wonders) and wear gloves and an apron to keep your hands and clothes stain free. - Tip
BEETROOT TO YOURSELF
Although golden beetroot isn’t as generous with its colour as its purple cousin, it can still stain, so chop the beetroot on a glass board, or one you can wash up straight away, and wear gloves and an apron to keep your hands and clothes stain free.
