Another one from The Big Book of Juices. It is called “Blue Healer”. I’m enjoying the book, but I still wish it named quantities in measures I know. What’s a “handful?” Can we get “cups” or “ounces” please? The way I made it, I didn’t have any black currants. So I went for 1 box [...]

Didn’t have time to smoothie this morning, so ended up having it now. This one makes enough for 1 person: 5 oz carrot 2.5 oz grape 1 celery stalk dash of water and some ice Blenderize. Serve up cold in an absinthe glass. Whee!
Green Smoothie Challenge Day 2

The thing I dislike about most smoothie recipes is that a lot forget to list the quantity it makes. Today I made it up from whatever was around. Let it be known from here on out that it is purple and it makes about 24 fl oz — that’s THREE 8 oz mugs! 1 banana [...]

Since starting school, Julia hasn’t been as good about eating her produce so I’m trying to figure out other ways to get it into her. So I came across the Green Smoothie Challenge while looking for smoothie recipes. Julia and I decided to adapt the first recipe like this: 1/2 romaine 3 bananas 1 cup [...]

1 grapefruit, juiced 1 cup blueberries I hand juiced the grapefruit and then whizzed it with 1 cup blueberries with the stick blender. I’ve had a headache all day and I’m trying to cut the brain fog. It helped somewhat.
Apple Watercress Juice

Sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t. This was a don’t! Two green apples plus 1/2 bunch of watercress run through the juicer might look like a pretty green drink, but it isn’t enough apple to disguise the sharp, peppery taste of the watercress. I chugged it and vowed to never make it again. Oy!
Melon-Pear-Ginger

This one was… different. 1/2 melon 2 pears 1 inch chunk fresh ginger Run through juicer, yields around 2 cups I think I’d like it better without quite so much ginger. The combo was a little too spicy for me. But Julia seemed to like it a lot and that really surprised me. I didn’t [...]

4 kiwi, peeled 6 oz. green grapes, washed Run through juicer. Yields a bit more than 1 cup. Has a sweet but tart taste.
Carrot-Apple Juice

This was 3 large organic carrots + 2 medium organic apples run through the juicer. Yielded not quite 2 cups of juice. Julia and I both like this combination.
