This is my attempt to recreate a juice from the Saf Restaurant and Bar at Whole Foods Market Kensington. Both shopping for some vegan ingredients hard to get in Belgium and a lunch at the restaurant are a must for me every time I am in London. I wish they opened one in Brussels, but so far my requests have been ignored... ;)
The rather unexpected ingredients in this juice are flaxseed oil and cayenne pepper. They do give it quite a kick ;) Flaxseed oil (otherwise known as linseed oil) contains Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, both needed for our health. Still, the juice will also taste great and be very refreshing if you don't like flaxseed oil, which has quite a special taste, or if you don't like the idea of a spicy juice altogether. Either way, if you like grapefruits and feel like a bit of help to wake up in the morning, go for it :)
Ingredients for 1.5L of juice:
6 grapefruits, peeled
6 pears (I use conference)
1lemon, peeled
a piece of ginger
1 tsp. flaxseed oil
a pinch of cayenne pepper (a very small pinch ;)
Juice all the fruit, then add the oil and cayenne pepper, mix well, pour into glasses and enjoy!
