I Got the Juice - and it Ain’t OJ!

Posted in Food, Musings, Wedding, lunch at 3:03 pm by trueepicure

We received a fruit and vegetable juicer as a wedding present. One of those things that I’ve always wanted, but felt guilty about buying for myself. I registered for it, and now we have one. I’m totally sold!

I should say that I am sold on the juice part. I’m not yet sure how much I like the juicer, but I’ll give it some time before I make a final decision. It’s a little bit awkward, but all of the parts are easy to clean, so it kind of balances out. Plus, the juice I made is SO good!

Today’s juice was:

1 Granny Smith apple
1 Honey Crisp apple
1 Carrot
1 thick slice of ginger

The recipe book says that you can throw everything in whole, but a) I don’t really want to juice the seeds into my glass, and b) the large apples won’t fit in the hopper, so I had to cut them into quarters. Not a bad deal, really, considering what came out. Delicious, sweet, tangy, spicy juice, with just a hint of carrot flavor. Enough for a 12oz glass (filled to the rim) of juice. A delicious, post-lunch treat. Yum!

    Try carrot & orange juice - it’s one of my favorites.
