Let's Try This Again

Okay, so I went on this website that had about a million juicing recipes on it (why even buy a book?  But I did).  I found another one that didn’t look too kacky and made it.  Twelve dollars, this time.  I juiced the following:

     1 Apple

     1 Kiwi

     1 Orange

     ½ Lemon

     ½ Lime

     ½ Pineapple  

 

I peeled what needed to be peeled ahead of time and stuck everything in the fridge overnight.  I can’t abide by warm juice.  Guck!  So this morning I commenced a-juicing, then strained everything just in case there were lumps.  (When I did the berry concoction, some microscopic seed fragments made it through, which of course I couldn’t abide, so I had to strain it again).  But this time there were no lumps and the straining wasn’t needed.

 

Verdict:  Well, freshly juiced is always a little too thick for me so I had to add some water to make it like the stuff in the grocery store.  But when all was said and done, I didn’t really mind this one. 

 

So next time I feel like having a $12.00 glass of juice, I’ll make some more.   

I Hate Vegetables

It's true.  I loathe vegetables.  If I even see them on a plate I shrink back like I've been presented with a disease-filled syringe.  

Yuck.

Yuck.

YUCK!

Same with fruit.  It's a texture thing.  But you know what?  They make juicers.  And even things that taste like moose pee can be chugged cold.  So I bought one, and I made juice using the following:  

Blackberries

Blueberries

Strawberries, and

Lime.

Okay, so the juicing was easy.  Messy to clean up, but easy.  I spent about ten dollars on fruit, and when all was said and done, I ended up with roughly half a pint of juice.  Seriously, is it even worth it?  But ... it's nutrition.  

The verdict:  YUCK.

I guess it's not just a texture thing.  However, I threw it in the fridge and let it get cold, then chugged it down in two separate servings.  

There's got to be a better way to do this.
