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.
Today’s juice was just another basic pear/celery juice with some ginger added in.
1 medium pear
3 stalks celery
1/4″ ginger root
Calming, smooth, delicious.
(No photos today – the Little Fox was demanding!)
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!

Spring Clean
via Miracle Juices
8 oz pear (1 regular)
4 oz cabbage (appx 1/8 head)
2 oz celery
1 oz watercress
I didn’t have watercress on hand, but had plenty of the other ingredients, so we made 3 oz celery and skipped the watercress in this recipe.
Chop ingredients to fit juicer.
Run ingredients through juicer, alternating pear and cabbage/celery to keep the fruit moving.
Serve over ice and enjoy.
This juice is plenty smooth (courtesy of the pear) but the emphasis is on the celery and cabbage. If you are looking for a certainly palatable “cleansing” juice, this could be it.
Happy juicing!

Today’s juice was a quick variation of the basic pear juice. Sorry, no time for photos today!
1 regular pear
3 stalks celery
1/2″ ginger
For todays run I left the top/leaves on the celery stalks and kicked up the heat with more ginger. The celery taste is noticeably more pronounced using the tops. The pear and ginger still keep the taste balanced – it tastes and smells “like a garden” but remains pleasant and sweet.
Nice, soothing, mellow juice.
Give it a shot – enjoy the juice of life!

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!

Juicing Basics blog has a nice post on the “different levels” of juicing and/or juices – ranging from juicing with only organic produce from a garden or farmer’s market, to juicing using standard grocery produce, to purchasing pre-made juices off the store shelf.
My favorite line:
In any case, even if you just use standard produce in making your juice, it’s still a world away from buying pre-made juice. If organic produce wins out over supermarket produce by a yard, making your own juice wins over store-bought juice by a mile.
Couldn’t agree more.

Fennel Fusion – Part Two
Today I’m having the second portion of the yesterday’s juice – Fennel Fusion (see 5-6-07).
I’m not sure about the “oxidation” or deterioration of nutrients and enzymes, etc. The juice smells and tastes fine, however. The jar was filled nearly full and the lid sealed tightly.
Probably, this is not ideal – the juice should be consumed within minutes of being freshly made. At the same time, it’s STILL not pasteurized, still has no artificial preservatives, and still less than 24 hours old.
I’m not going to feel too bad. 
Have a great day!

Fennel Fusion
via The Complete Juice Book
1/2 small red cabbage
1/2 fennel bulb (or 2-3 sticks celery)
2 apples
1 tbsp lemon juice
“Roughly slice cabbage and fennel and quarter the apples. Juice veggies and fruit. Add lemon juice and stir. Pour into glass and serve.”
Obviously I chopped things a little smaller than prescribed, but that’s what works best for my juicer.
Here are the results from the juicing – both the juice and the pulp. Quite a bit as you see…
This juice is surprisingly tasty. The apple does a good job of balancing the cabbage and anise flavors – I was bracing for a very “cabbagey” taste. The fennel was also somewhat absent. I did use about a 1/3 bulb instead of the 1/2 called for – perhaps I would kick that up in the future.
All in all, though, quite good. Certainly incorporates more veggies than your typical fruit juice! Give it a try.
Happy juicing!

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!
