Juice

This morning's juice:

Carrots
Green Apple
1/2 a beet
a little ginger

Juice!!!

Yeah for fresh fruit!!!!

Juice:

6 strawberries

1/2 cup blueberries

2 huge hunks of fresh pineapple

1 banana

cup of orange juice

Blend with or without ice.

Yummy and plenty for 2 people.  Fresh pineapple is amazing and easier to cut than one would think from it's slightly intimidating exterior.

Juice!

Today's Juice:

1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup black berries
1/2 cup raspberries
1 banana
Hemp protein powder

Win!  Purple goodness.

Juicing: A bloody mess

I am calling this one a bloody mess:

4 beets
4 carrots
1 inch of ginger

Masticate and put in the blender with

2 tangelos
4 oz of frozen pineapple
3 ice cubes
Protein powder.

Yields 32 oz of juicy wonder.

A more complex tasting juice

This is a bit of a complex juice, but I like it.


One large orange
2 small clementines
several small carrots
3 stalks celery
one green apple
one big honkin' beet.





This is a fairly bright, complex juice.  Next time, I think that a bit of ginger would be nice in this.  I have been on a huge citrus kick lately.

Waiting not very patiently for spring, and more juicing options.

For when you want LOTS of Juice

Here is the juice of the day.  I will warn you that this makes 32 oz of juice.  I didn't calorie count this one.  Mostly because I wanted to just enjoy it.  Totally worth the effort.

With the masticating juicer:
4 carrots
1 large beet
2 navel oranges

When you have that done throw 2 clementines, and a cup of mangoes.  Blend together in the blender with the other juice.

I used frozen magoes, and added ice at the end.  This had a little bit more fiber and was in general kind of thick, so when I had it half finished I added some sprite.  I should have used just soda water, but I didn't.....because you can't be good all the time.  (And if you are, you are missing out on some yummy stuff!)

Juice/Veg Fast Day The Second

Holy cow did I want to eat food today.  Well, not food, french fries.  I wanted grease soaked fries.  Instead, I had this:

Coffee

2 8oz glasses of Simply orange juice

Sweet juice:

One lemon

1 large beet

3 carrots

1 green apple

1/2 inch of ginger

1 1/2 cup of pineapple.

Ginger Beer

I made this cabbage soup based on the cabbage soup diet, which is just weird.  6 bananas a day?  I don't think so.  This is very warming when garnished with hirachi sauce.  Very yummy and filling.

Cabbage Soup.

• 8 cups Organic Vegetable Stock
• 1 head Cabbage, Cooked
• 2 cups Carrots
• 1 cup Chopped Celery
• 4 Garlic Clove
• 1 Leek
• 1 medium raw Green-bell Pepper
• 1/4 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
• 1/4 tsp Chili Powder
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 cups Italian Style Diced Tomatoes

DIRECTIONS

Sweat everything but cabbage in a large pot, in a very small portion of olive oil. Add Veg stock,and tomatoes then cabbage. Mix and then add spices to taste. I used what is mentioned plus a bit of thyme. Some salt and pepper. This isn't strictly a cabbage diet soup. It's a warming soup I am consuming during a juice fast.

Pink Juice

This is a really pink juice.

4 little red apples
3 small beets
1 lime with skin
1/2 inch of ginger

We loved this one!

*warning*  This product will produce pink poop.  Don't worry, you aren't bleeding to death.

Let there be juice.

I have been doing some juicing.  Not just the morning yummy fruit kind, but the hard to drink sort of a struggle to get down kind.

My favorite is just plain old Carrot and Apple.  Sweet, easy to drink, yummy.

Today we tried this, I call it "Not V8 by a Long Shot":

2 carrots
2 romma tomatoes
a hand full of cilantro
a hand full of spinach
3 stocks of celery
Juice of one lemon

It was green.  It was good.  It was ugly.

I am going to attempt pictures of the juicing this week.  My food photography is almost as bad as that greeeeeeen juice.  Practice makes perfect.
