On Monday, we invited you to Spring Clean your body with a fantastic weekend juice detox (and if you didn’t get the invite, there’s still time to follow the two day programme).

To help you keep the detox going, try Christine’s Berry Cream Blitz recipe. This satisfying juice keeps hunger pangs at bay. Rich in protein and essential fats, it provides a super-dose of nutrients to support your metabolism. The pectin in the berries helps stimulate digestion, while flaxseed oil boosts your intake of essential fats to aid weight loss.

250g/9oz seedless red grapes or 150ml/ 5fl oz/scant ²⁄³ cup red grape juice

1 tsp tahini
1 tsp flaxseed oil
125ml/4fl oz/ ½ cup water

Juice the lemon and grapes, then place the juice in a blender with the remaining ingredients. Process until smooth.
