Juice Recipes

Wow!  I am overwhelmed by the response from those who have watched Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead as part of the January Challenge for a Change.  I have heard from several of you who are going to do your own reboot.  If I remember correctly I said something along the lines of watching the movie is a not a challenge but what the movie will inspire you to do will be.  Congratulations and good luck to all of you who are going to give juicing a try.  If you missed my first post about the movie you can click HERE to read.

Chef Amy was over this morning and we decided to add a few more juice recipes for everyone looking.  We came up with three very beautiful and tasty juices.  Hope you enjoy !

Great Green Juice

• 2 celery stalks
• 1/2 cucumber
• 3 kale leaves
• 1 lime, remove peel before juicing
• 1/2 cup pineapple

Juice all the ingredients and serve over ice.

Sweet Beet Juice

• 1 beet
• 2 apples – pink lady, or honey crisp
• 1 sweet potato

Juice all the ingredients and serve over ice.

Carrot Cake Juice

• 3/4 cup carrot juice
• 1/4 cup pineapple, juiced
• 1/4 coconut milk
• 2 dates, pitted
• 1/4 vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon
• nutmeg, and clove to taste
• ice

First I juiced the carrot and pineapple.  I added those juices to my vitamix blender and added in the rest of the ingredients.  Blend on high until smooth.  Start with just a little of the spices, a little goes a long way.  Then add more as needed.
