juicing strawberries
As you might know, I got some really great strawberries at the Farmers Market on Saturday.
Here they are right before I started digging in:
So after my strawberry overload breakfast (see below) I decided to treat myself to a refreshing beverage. After working around the house/yard over the weekend, it was well deserved.
I started juicing them with my juicer!
I juiced two of the containers! It produces the best puree!
I think I will use it for pancakes or perhaps in my yogurt….or ice cream!
I muddled some basil leaves with a little bit of sugar. I added some fresh strawberry juice and some sparkling water.
Put in a straw & top with a little strawberry and you have yourself a refreshing drink!
The basil was great! If you aren’t as daring…try some mint! MMMMMMM

I’ve been putting strawberry juice in frosting lately, but I don’t have a juicer. It’s a food processor & mesh strainer for me!

Trader Joe’s is having a contest and since you *love* them as much as I do, I wanted to email you the information. Your contact page is blank, though. Would you mind sending me your email so I can pass it along?

Oh I love my juicer. I always feel like i am really treating myself with a fresh
fruit smoothie. This looks lovely!

Wow those strawberries look so fresh and healthy! The juice looks really tasty … much better than drinking soda, that’s for sure! I bet a few slices of cucumber in there would be tasty too. And mint! Yum :)
