Carrot Celery Tomato Beet Greens Juice
I know what you're thinking. Juice?? This is juice?? It looks like cola! Well friends, it's not! It's the juice that I hold responsible for giving me back my life on Sunday. I was CRAZY sick on Saturday with a 24 hour flu, followed by a wicked sore throat. I drank some of this on Sunday morning and felt amazingly recharged. It could have been the 18 hours of sleep, but I am somewhat convinced it was this drink that helped. Quick! Someone get sick and make this so we can test it out. OK, please don't. That would be sad.
Look what's in it:
Kiwi Mango Orange Basil Pear Juice
Could we possibly add more fruit to this concoction? My juicer sighs "Please no!"
I have to tell you that the kiwi and the mango are the real stars of this juice. They are thick, pulpy fruits that create quite a *sludge* in the juicer. What comes from them is not just juice; it's more like a jammy nectar! When you add them to the pear and mandarin oranges you get a really thick juice. A juice that will make you feel like you are in Hawaii. A juice that is BEGGING for a decorative paper umbrella to accompany it! Continue reading→
Basil Apple Cucumber Juice
My brother and I made this juice last week.
It's a great juice if you are on a cleanse! Your taste buds will be awakened and your tummy will be satisfied. The basil in the juice adds a nice depth to the sweetness of the apple and cucumber. It makes it more of a grown-up drink in my opinion. Continue reading→
Citrus Squeeze Smoothie
This Sunset magazine has been splayed out on my kitchen counter over the past few weeks...tempting me.
Today was the day that I bowed down and gave in.
I've heard soo many people coughing these days that I figured it's time to get my immunity boost!
Reading that there was a frozen banana in the mix had me sold. Orange banana smoothies are by far my favorite combo.
I already had a huge mess in the kitchen to clean up, what's a little more?
So get your ingredients ready-
Apple Celery Spinach Juice
Another green juice under my belt. This one was amazing!
The sweetness of the apples balances out any bitterness that comes from the celery and spinach.
Honestly, the spinach was barely noticeable in the taste, but look how much green I got out of it!
I was surprised at the amount of juice that was produced with these simple ingredients:
Beet Greens, Pepper & Cucumber Juice
I've started to collect scraps of fruit & veggie leftovers throughout the week. I save the scraps in a bag in the fridge and pull stuff out to be juiced. It's a great way to get something out of the waste that feeding a toddler can create. A few cucumber spears here...a few slices of yellow bell pepper...beet greens leftover from a salad....
Suddenly, you have a healthy, vibrant juice.
Kale, Pear, Lime & Ginger Juice
While sipping on this juice, I am immediately transported to summertime. My husband has just mowed the lawn and I am standing the sipping on a gingery lemonade. I have a cute sundress on cuz that's totally apart of the fantasy.
The kale tastes like fresh-cut lawn and hot DAMN the lime and ginger give it a bright note! I am immediately alert and ready to face the day. This juice will awaken your tastebuds! Look at that color green. It's INSANE.
