JUICY POTIONS

Definition of a 'Potion':

 A liquid that is believed to have a magical effect on someone who drinks it:

Today we made 'juice' potions and while we don't think they had any magical effects on us we know that they were good for us. Fruit juices taste good, are nutritious and can be beneficial for our health because they are rich in vitamins, minerals.

Aaron brought in some 'super juice' for us all to try, then we got to make out own.

We had carrots, apples, oranges, and ginger to run through the juicers. It was amazing to see how many carrots you needed to make only 1/2 a cup of juice!  This is one of the reasons why it is important to only drink straight fruit juice in moderation.  Not many of us could eat 12 big carrots in a go, but it would be easy to drink the 1/2 a cup of juice they produce!

 Then we go on the business and mixed a couple together to see how they tasted.

Potion number 1: Carrot and Apple juice.

Potion number 2: Orange, Apple and Ginger juice.

Number two was a definite winner with us all.  Next week we are going to have a go with a few vegetable combinations!
