Getting Adventurous With Juice



So the green juice has become my new fave. I crave it. In fact, if I could bring the juicer to work with me, I would.

My friend told me about it and she called it green lemonade. I have been experimenting with the exact amounts, but it is basically, granny smith apple, lemon, and kale. I add a little stevia just to make it less tart. It tastes just like lemonade and is just as refreshing. Surprisingly, my daughter agreed to try it (it does not hurt that her favorite color is green) and she loves it. What a great way to get kids to eat kale!!!

The next, I am not so sure about...



Gorgeous color! This was beet, apple, and carrots. Maybe I used too much beet for my first try? I will definitely try it again but maybe alter the amounts and work up to it.

Another juice I tried but I did not take a pic was also interesting. It was grapefruit, sweet potato, apple and celery. The grapefruit was totally refreshing. The sweet potato and apple were not very noticeable. But the celery! Wow! Who knew celery had such a strong flavor?! The odd thing was the initial taste was the grapefruit and the aftertaste was all celery. Again, a little odd, but not necessarily bad.

And the experiments continue...

Very interesting juice, but love the color. If the color is beautiful, most likely I will eat/drink them.
