1 in chunk of cucumber

1 small handful Alfalfa sprouts

If you have a different type of juicer, feed in all the ingredients chopped into whatever size the machine will take. Pour over ice and enjoy.

Natural teas

Pour hot water over chunks of fresh fennel, lemon, lime or mint leaves for a cup of whichever tea you fancy. Fresh teas play a vital role in your 7lbs in 7 Days programme because they help to get the digestion going in the morning and to calm it at night.

Don't fully boil the water as it can deplete the vitamin content of your drink.

The water should be hot, but not boiling.
