juice

It has been a very very long time since we've pulled out our juicer.  Like maybe a year?  Chad had the grand idea to juice this past weekend and I of course was all like "oh that thing has so many pieces and it gets pulp everywhere and then you have to wash it."  But I'm so glad we did!... it. was. AMAZING.

I usually put celery and spinach and cucumber and green things in our juice... which I love, but I didn't have any of those things, so we used what we had:  carrots, oranges, limes, apples.  I chugged it.  It was so refreshing.

Here was what we made on Saturday that was the best juice ever:

2 large whole carrots
2-3 apples (they were leftover from something and in little slices, so not sure how many)
2 oranges (peel removed)
1 lime (peel removed)
* made two glasses of juice

We made something similar on Monday, which was still delicious, but a little more bitter with the grapefruit and green apple addition:

2 large whole carrots
2 granny smith apples
1 red delicious apple
1 grapefruit (peel removed)
1 orange (peel removed)
1 lime (peel removed)
* made three glasses of juice



Ok.  That was supposed to inspire you... now go juice!


.... if you don't have a juicer, you could use a blender, you would just have to do a little more prep... peel and core all fruits/veggies.  and it might be more pulpy (unless you have like a Vitamix), if you're into that kind of thing.  I, for one, do not get along with pulp.  good luck.

Henrik's always asking to get out the juicer and I'm always hesitant for the same reasons but always glad when we do! Carrot/Lime and a few others always ends up being one of my favorite combos!
