Asian BrothLet me explain what broth is and why it's so good for you. When you cook meat, bones, bone marrow and connective tissues in filtered water for a few hours you get broth. The flavour, nutrients and minerals from the bones migrate into the water making a wonderfully warming, nourishing and healing broth drink. Broth is packed full of minerals including a rich source of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium and sulfur. Bone broth also helps maintain and rebuild the structure of our bodies. Another nutritional benefit to drinking broth is the gelatin which is leached from the animal bones during the cooking process. Gelatin is incredibly healing for the digestive tract as broth works towards normalizing digestion and makes foods cooked in broth easier to digest. Other benefits of drinking gelatinous rich broth include strengthening hair and nails, reducing, preventing and healing cellulite and wrinkles.
Bone Broth – A Nutritious DrinkBone broths have the potential to be part of the healing process in leaky gut and irritable bowel syndrome. It is not the only factor but a great contributor and they are also wonderful for when you are sick with a cold or a flu.

Inca Inchi Protein Berry ShakeI make this energy-boosting drink when I’m on the run and don’t have much time for breakfast. You can change the taste and nutritional value simply by using different fruit, rolled grains and nuts. For more vitamin B add half a teaspoon of brewer’s yeast.
Iron BoosterThis juice contains plenty of iron, complemented by an array of other minerals and vitamins that help the body absorb iron. Choose fruits and vegetables carefully: the fresher they are, the higher they will be in vitamins and minerals. If you grow your own parsley (very easy to do) you can pick it fresh before juicing.
Lemon Leaf TeaThis may not be a soup but it is a wonderful drink to have hot or cold and it’s filled with nutrition and immune boosting properties. If you have a herb garden and lemon tree it makes this recipe very easy to make. I usually make a batch of this hot tonic up and then keep adding hot water to the brew until you realise the taste is not as it should be. Makes 1 Litre
Lime TwistThis is a wonderful drink for improving the immune system, digestive system, circulatory system and liver function.
MaleoMaleo is a fancy and exotic word i like to use instead of Rapadura Syrup. Maleo is so quick and easy to make. I use it in replace of honey, maple syrup (if i have none), agave, rice syrup and coconut syrup (very expensive).

Sunrise JuiceThis combination is a fabulous all-round elixir. It is especially kind to people who are low in energy as it boosts iron levels and starts to clean the blood system out to give a feeling of total wellbeing.
