Juice Boost: Feel Great on a Turkish Retreat  - by Janey Lee Grace




    Janey Lee Grace, author of the bestselling book Imperfectly Natural Woman explains how a combination of fresh fruit and the beautiful mountain scenery of Turkey can give you a new lease of life.

    Fancy losing weight and feeling great? Try a Juicemaster retreat. Jason Vale runs retreats in southern Turkey all through the summer season at The Montenegro Hotel and Spa near Gojek and selected weeks at the Golden Key resort at Bordubet. Closer to home he also offers a a 3 day mini-detox at Champneys Forest Mere in Hampshire. Janey spills the beans…

    A fishing boat slowly reaches the shoreline and two suntanned Turkish waiters unload a crate of pineapples, two crates of cucumbers, a box of lemons and a massive crate of watermelons onto the jetty of the private island owned by the Golden Key resort. This is no fruit and veg stall or even a display for a wedding party. Once juiced, this little lot is breakfast for fifty people on a Juicemaster Detox retreat.

    The Golden Key resort and spa hotel in Bordubet, Turkey, nestles deep in the mountains in a lush forest. A river runs through the complex and as you walk across the pretty wooden bridges you can watch black swans elegantly jostling water lilies and huge golden fish. Only a mile walk away is the resort's private island complete with restaurant and the MOST spectacular sunset views I’ve ever seen. This is the venue for the Juicemaster Ultimate Detox retreat, accommodating up to 60 people on selected weeks.

    My favourite exotic juice is guava... but it's best freshly made. Canned guava juice is always laden with sugar
