Blackberry Kiwi

I took off yesterday from juicing.  So today I need two juices.  Time for a juice that is more of a dessert juice.  No veggies in this juice.  I'm finding it hard to keep with fresh fruit.  I ended up using the frozen type of blackberries as that was much more cost effective!  This juice will be on the regular menu.

Ingredients:
1/4 large Pineapple, core removed and roughly cubed (1 large cup of canned pineapple)
1 cup Blackberries
1 Kiwi Fruit
1/4  Pear
1/4 cup Coconut Water

Green Juice

I drank a Naked Juice on Friday morning because I was too lazy to juice in the morning.  Anyway - I guess there is no other name that makes sense for this juice.  I will tell you - celery makes me burp all day.  My husband has requested that I do not make this juice anymore.  It was way too veggie heavy for his taste buds.  Even I couldn't drink it in one chug.  I had to take 4 breaks.  I ran it through the juicer twice to make sure it was as juiced as it was going to get.  Seriously though, I think I will get to the point where this juice is not so bad.  Check out tomorrow's post for the juice that your sweet tooth will love.

6 leaves Kale
2 cups Spinach
1/2 Cucumber
4 stalks Celery
2 Apples

Apple Carrot Beet juice

My first juice was such a success, I thought why not experiment. BEETS. I've never been successful at beets. I eaten a heavenly beet salad at Evening Star. However at home I've tried roasting and boiling etc. Success for me would have been to like the beet juice. I can't say that I did, but I'm posting for those that do like beet juice. I will try this juice again with 1 beet instead of 2. Be forewarned. Drinking this juice may cause your urine to change color. Again. I opted out of the ginger. Maybe next time I'll opt on and I won't notice the beets???

Ingredients:

1 Apple
2 Beets
3 Large Carrots
1 Piece Ginger (thumb sized)
4 cups Spinach/Kale

Carrot-Kale combo juice

I'm new to juicing. I thought before the new year is in full swing I'd dabble and play with the new juicer I'd been gifted. Boy is it fun! I had some kale from the last CSA delivery. Never new Kale could taste so yummy. I opted out of the ginger. For some reason I'm not a huge fan of it. I split this one drink do everyone in my house could try the new creation. My daughter hated it. Most because she saw all that went into the juice. My husband said - Not bad. I thought it was worlds better than the sodium ridden V8. I'm hooked!!!
