Freshers’ week has been and gone and each student is as hungover as the next. In this abyss, there is nothing like a detox pick-me-up to kick-start the term.

I’m always looking for feel-good juice recipes, but I think it’s fair to say that the only reason most detox drinks are downed-in-one is because they taste so unpleasant.

If you’re not quite as daring with ingredients as Gwyneth Paltrow, but you want delicious juices with the same health benefits, here are some juice detox recipes that have been inspired by popular cocktails. But instead of alcohol, each ‘cocktail’ contains at least two “superfoods” to give you a different kind of boost.

For each of the recipes, just cut up the ingredients and blend them all in a mixer – a hand-held mixer/blender will do, or if you are really prepared, use a juice blender. Each recipe makes one cocktail. Where the fruit isn’t in season, you can also use frozen fruit.
