Sweet Lime and Kiwi Juice
by Tarla Dalal
The intelligent combination of sweet and sour fruits makes a great drink without the need for sugar! We have also added a dash of soaked garden cress seeds to the Sweet Lime and Kiwi Juice for that extra iron boost. The iron content of the seeds gets absorbed very well thanks to the vitamin C contributed by the fruits. Just make sure you use ripe kiwi to ensure the best flavour.
