I have not forgotten about my blog. I have written numerous blog posts in my head over the past year that just never seemed to make it to the computer. Today, I’m sharing a recipe for a current favorite juice of mine as well as a few other favorites I enjoyed during my 30-day juice fast in September and October.
K’s Delicious Morning Juice
This is my hands-down current favorite juice. For less sweet juice, I suggest adding some celery. Makes approximately 1 quart.
Also, I use the smell test to select pineapples. Don’t buy or juice a green pineapple ~ I found this link which explains how to select a pineapple in more detail.
- 1/2 pineapple
- 1/3 – 1/2 bunch cilantro
- 1-2 apples
- 1-2 oranges
- 1 lime
- jalapeno, to taste (I use only a very small piece of a large jalapeno I haven’t deseeded)
Celery Grape Juice
Just adjust the ratio of grape to celery juice to adjust sweetness. I make about half grape to half celery. If you use green grapes you will have a pretty green-colored juice. If you use red or black grapes, it is a pretty(?) lavender color.
- 1 to 1.5 pounds grapes
- 1 bunch celery
- baby carrots ~ enough for 12 oz juice, about 1.5 small bags
- baby spinach ~ enough for 12 oz juice
- 1-2 beets
- 1/2 normal sized jalapeno ~ stems & seeds removed
- 1-2 apples
- 1/2 – 1 lemon
Watermelon juice
Watermelons are out of season as I write this 😦. I enjoyed this juice very much at the beginning of my fast in September. This is a great use for watermelons when the texture is off, but it still has good flavor. Be sure to wash the outside of the watermelon well, even if it is organic. Makes about 2.5 quarts, depending on the size of your watermelon. For more of a vegetable juice, just juice the rinds with the lime and mint ~ it is equally as tasty.
- 1/4 watermelon ~ cut into long strips including the rind
- 1 lime
- a few sprigs mint
