Snehas juicy tip to beat the heat

CHENNAI: With all the wedding shopping happening in this heat, I find it necessary to have something to constantly hydrate my body. People offer various things like juices, aerated drinks and ice creams when we go out, but I prefer the age-old hits – buttermilk and tender coconut. I pull out bottles of these two from an oversized bag that I carry with me during every shopping spree.I include fresh juices in as many meals as possible, because as much as I would like it, eating the whole fruit does not happen often for me. I love all juices made of freshly cut fruits; they are all packed with vitamins. My personal favourite is the apple-carrot with lemon juice. I think it is a superb combination and I have it at least twice a week. I remember how I was shooting in Kotturpuram a few years ago and sent my driver to get me this juice from a nearby juice stall, but they refused to make it as it was not a part of their menu. I was so desperate that I called him and pleaded with him to make it for me. He eventually obliged, and later called back saying he had included it in his juice menu. I was thrilled.RECIPEIngredients:1 apple2 carrots1 lemonProcedure:It is as obvious as it looks. Put the ingredients in a blender and strain it to remove the extra pulp.Drink away!
