Purple Passion Juice

This is my favorite Juice so far!



Ingredients:

30 red grapes
1 pint blueberries
1 handful mint

My juicer didn't handle the blueberries very well and we got a sort of slushy like juice which was actually a very happy accident.  The little bits of pulp floating around were really really good.

Sunrise Juice






Ingredients:
8 carrots
4 oranges
2 beets

This one is pretty great.  I like it better than the regular orange juice you buy at the store by a lot.  However, I do feel like this is a direct shot of sugar into my blood stream, so that worries me a bit.  Not going to make this too often.

Green Citrus Juice

Ingredients:
1 green apple
1 orange, peeled
3 big handfuls spinach

I forgot to take a picture of the ingredients.  I made two batches and put them into a container.  I'm doing half for lunch and then half for a snack.  It kept really well.  I really like this one as well, but its not as good the pear pie!

Pear Pie Delight Juice

This so far is my very favorite juice.  The cinnamon really topped it off nicely.  It looks bad, but boy was it tasty!  It actually tasted like pear pie!



Ingredients:
1 sweet potato
1 red apple
2 pears
handful of blueberries
dash of cinnamon


The only downfall to this was all the chopping!  OH THE CHOPPING!  This was the most I had to chop for any juices so far.  My omega juicer has a small hole to put everything in, so I had to cut the potatoes and pears and apple really small.  But so worth it.

Juice #2 : Joe's mean green

For lunch was Joe's Mean Green.

3 kale leaves
.5 green apple
.25 lemon
1 cucumber
2 stalks celery
a small piece of ginger




I liked this one more than the other.  It didn't have the bite and went down smoother despite having more greens.  I actually really enjoy greens, even juiced.

Juice #1: Carrot Apple Ginger Juice

The first juice I made was Carrot Apple Ginger.  I like this one, its really tasty.  Though I may have put in a little too much ginger, it burned a little going down!


Ingredients:

2 apples
3 carrots (mine were small so I used 4)
1 inch ginger root


Starting the first day

The Omega Juicer arrived yesterday!  I rushed to put it together, and boy does it look sleek!

When Ransom got home, I made some juice for a late dinner, pear and carrot, and it tasted awesome!  I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was and how well it juiced everything.  The pulp was a little moist, but from what I remember of my old Breville Compact Juicer, it was much drier.  The Breville was also much much louder, I was able to run this in the morning and not be worried about waking the neighbors.



I weighed in today at 158 lbs and took a before picture, depending on the after picture, I may post it.  I'll post later with my review of my day's juices!  Made my boyfriend the Carrot Apple Ginger juice for breakfast before he left for work.  I'll make mine later.  Already started in on doing five minute morning yoga and had my hot water with lemon.  I'm going to walk to the store and get some herbal teas later for work and home.  I can do this!
