Sweet Fortification

Fresh Drinking this juice makes you wonder how anyone can buy store-bought concoctions.

• 2 nectarines, halved and stoned
• 1 peach, halved and stoned
• 5 strawberries, hulled
• 5 drops echinacea extract

Juice the nectarines and peach together. Blend with the strawberries and echinacea.

• Echinacea helps boost a sluggish immune system and wards off potential colds and flu. It is most effective taken when the first, niggling signs of sickness are sensed in the body.
• Peaches and nectarines are extremely perishable so are often harvested when still firm. Look for fruits that are not too hard. The harder the fruit, the less likely they are to ripen properly.
