Crussh Book

October 15, 2015 By All That I'm Eating 8 Comments

The idea of smoothies and juices I really like; getting the nutrients (with or without the fibrous parts) in a convenient way really appeals. Not least because it gives me something to do with a fridge full of vegetables other than soup. The only thing that puts me off is the thought I needed another piece of kitchen equipment to be able to make my own. The publishers of Crussh, Nourish Books, got in touch to see if I’d like to try out the new book. I asked if a juicer was necessary and they said it wasn’t so I was looking forward to giving one of the recipes a try.

Crussh Juice BookI like how the book is divided up with some more ‘advanced’ drinks in the back containing oats, wheatgrass and all sorts. Certainly something to progress towards (they sounded delicious) but not for the smoothie novice I am! There are all sorts of ideas for flavour combinations; certainly a juicer would make your life easier but as I found out a food processor does almost as good a job.

For my Beetroot, Orange and Lime Juice (makes two glasses) you will need:

  • 4 large oranges
  • 1 large beetroot
  • 1 lime

Squeeze one of the oranges into a food processor.

Peel and roughly chop the beetroot and add to the food processor. Blend everything together.

Remove the pulp and push it all through a sieve.

Juice the remaining oranges and lime and mix into the beetroot.

Crussh Juice Book ingredientsI love the vibrant colour of this juice and the earthy flavour of the beetroot was so nice with the zesty orange and lime. For me the flavour combinations in the book were interesting and inspiring but I do feel like you would get more out of the book if you have a juicer or smoothie maker. I’m sure one of the soup blender attachments would make a good smoothie if you have one of those.

Thanks to Nourish Books for the book. All opinions expressed are my own.

    That sounds like a great book, Caroline, and the juice looks very tasty and healthy as well.

    That’s good that you don’t need a juicer for it! I should try doing my own since we buy juices and it gets expensive!

    Gorgeous color for sure! I’m a smoothie novice, too, but I’m intrigued with using beets! I bet they’re delicious with the citrus.

    I have both a juicer and a nutri bullet but I generally only make my juices with the juicer. I’m a much bigger fan of smoother liquidy juice than the chunkier juice the blender makes. However I love the fact that the blender keep so much more of the actual food in the juice (less waste, more nutrients) so I really am keen to find more recipes to make juice with. I’ve tried a bunch and they all made me gag (lol). I think I’ll try this one!

    Hi Caroline, I love smoothies and this looks like a great one. I do smoothies in spurts, I will have them for a couple of weeks straight and then not for months. Looks like a great book.

    Sounds like a great book, especially as you don’t need any special equipment. I love juices and smoothies, you are right its a great way to use up fruit and veg languishing in the fridge.
