Ginger Juice

via The Complete Juice Book

1/2 small pineapple
1 oz fresh root ginger
1 carrot
ice cubes

TIP: Before prepping pineapple, turn upside-down and leave for 30 minutes – this makes it juicier.

Cut away skin from pineapple, then halve and remove core. Roughly slice pineapple flesh. Peel and roughly chop ginger, then chop the carrot.

Push carrot, ginger, and pineapple through juicer and pour into glass over ice.

Finally!

This weekend we make the Carrot Pulp Cake I wrote about a month ago. There is NOTHING wrong with this recipe. :)

A (very) little creative license was taken with the recipe as posted.

(1) The pineapple was omitted because CFE said it made the cake too moist – almost gooey.

(2) Substitute 1.5 cups oil for 1.5 cups apple sauce. This substitution is excellent! It keeps the cake moist and delicious without adding all the calories from the oil. I STRONGLY urge you to try this substitution next time you bake!

(3) Used whole wheat all-purpose flour.

YUM…

This morning we’re just doing a basic carrot-apple juice with a twist – cinnamon!

1 regular apple
8 small organic carrots
dash cinnamon powder

I didn’t have time to peel the carrots, or even peel the sticker off the apple – that’s the gouge out of the skin there. Just scrubbed everything, cut off the ends, and popped it into the juicer.

Tap a dash of cinnamon, mix, and serve over ice.

This is a wonderfully tasty juice – tastes quite a bit like apple cider. Try it!

Enjoy!

Red Rocket

via Miracle Juices

Overview: Supposed to be good for irritable bowel syndrome: carrot and apple have pectin, and tannic and malic acids, good for the GI tract. Cabbage is a stomach detoxifier and aids digestion.

6 oz carrot (appx 6 small organic)
8 oz apple (1 large)
4 oz red cabbage (appx 1/8 head)

Peel carrots, and reserve pulp. Chop carrots, apple and cabbage.

Run carrots through juicer first. Freeze pulp for future use. Alternate apple and cabbage until all used.

Recipe should yield about 7 oz. Serve over ice.

Enjoy the juice of life!

Carrotty Pineapple Juice

6 Organic Carrots
1/2 Whole Fresh Pineapple

Peel carrots if you are saving the pulp, or just scrub them down and juice the peel and all. Shown on the plate is 1/2 a fresh pineapple with the skin cut off, but with the core remaining. Juice ingredients, reserving some carrot to keep the pineapple moving through the juicer.

This is a tasty, tasty juice. The sweetness of the the pineapple blends very smoothly with the sweet earthy carrots. Mrs. Fox also enjoyed this quite a bit – you won’t need to force this one down! The recipe yielded two cups of juice.

Enjoy!

The Fox

1/2 beetroot (2 oz)
3 small carrots (3 oz)
1 apple (7 oz)

Note to readers – make sure you’ve got a firm, crisp apple when juicing. I used an Empire apple that ripened some over the weekend. Not good! It turned to applesauce immediately. Will need to retry with apple juice. :)

The jury’s still out on this one.
